I had to read your statement a couple of times to understand it. You're saying that the old syntax is totally incompatible with the new syntax? It's a shame, but I'm sure it was necessary. The various other improvements are all things I've made use of in real code. Format is now a tool that you can reach for before you need to go to a more heavyweight templating lib (like Jinja2). '{p.type}: {p.kinds[0][name]}'.format(p=Plant())
