Are there sprintf in Python???

[questions?]

Are there any sprintf in Python?
I know you can print to files(or redefine sys.stout) and later open the
file content.

Are there similar function to sprintf in C?

Thanks

Something like this?

x = 9
vbl = "One digit: %d, four digits: %04d" % (x,x)
print vbl

Refer module StringIO - just like file input/output operations.
cStringIO is another module (faster)

Quick intro:
from StringIO import StringIO
s = StringIO()
s.write('hello')
s.seek(0)
print s.read()

-N

No, but you can compose a similar function very easily.

def sprintf(format, *objects):
return format % tuple(objects)

Since strings are immutable it's not convenient to provide a
pass-out parameter as in C. If you want to check for errors
you'll have to catch the exceptions, rather than inspect the
return value as you can in C.

Meaning to print in a buffer? It's not necessary...

Remember that all the ways that prints on files, actually does not need
to print into *actual* files, but they can print into file-like objects
(see StringIO, or mmap, for example).
