PyFormat.info is a single-page cheat sheet documenting Python's old-style (%) and new-style (.format()) string formatting with practical, side-by-side examples. The site is statically generated from executable test cases, ensuring all examples are verified to produce the shown output.

Use cases

• learn python string formatting with examples
• look up how to pad or align strings in python
• compare old-style % formatting with str.format
• find examples of formatting numbers and dates in python
• reference for named placeholders and getitem formatting

When to choose

• you need quick, practical examples of Python string formatting
• you want verified, executable examples rather than theoretical docs
• you are teaching or learning the differences between % and .format()

When to avoid

• you need documentation for f-strings (Python 3.6+ formatted string literals)
• you need the complete formal syntax specification of Python formatters
• you need a formatting library or tool rather than a reference page
