Great. Thanks. Do you have a link to where that's documented?

I did web search, found nothing.

https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#formatspec https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#f-strings

Thanks. I'll check those as time allows.

Thanks, that's a good idea. I've usually gone for the web docs only.

The f-string stuff is laid out in "The Python Language Reference"

Great. Thanks. I'll try to remember that.

But honestly, I usually just hit up a chatbot first. I'll drop
in my code and say, "How can I make this shorter?".

In other words, a shortcut. :)

I can find "," (comma) and I can find "_" (underscore) but how about " " (space)?

Or any other character, for that matter?

Any ideas?

Of course I can do f"{123456:>20_}".replace("_", " "), just thought there
might be something else my search mojo fails on.

Thanks.
