You can also use keyword arguments, which is really helpful in certain situation. Example from the docs:

  'Coordinates: {latitude}, {longitude}'.format(latitude='37.24N', longitude='-115.81W')

You could do that before with % substitution too. But I prefer .format() because (1) it's the new idiom and (2) will coerce to string without me binding the type in the format string.
