    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"
    since they're part of the language itself. A quick search for
    [snip]

    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.
