> I would argue Python is very consistent in its design, it aims to only have one obvious way to do things

This argument is dead the second one stumbles upon the string interpolation/formatting situation. Or the list comprehensions, ew.

For the benefit of those not familiar with the Python string interpolation/formatting situation, I present 4 ways to perform the same string formatting:

    who='World'
    #1 - string concatenation
    'Hello, ' + who + '!' 

    #2 - % operator
    'Hello, %s!' % who

    #3 - format() method
    'Hello, {}!'.format(who)

    #4 - f-strings
    f'Hello, {who}!'

Don't forget all the variations on how to use the format() method.

    # In order
    'Hello, {}!'.format(who)
    
    # Numbered
    'Hello, {0}!'.format(who)

    # Named
    'Hello, {name}!'.format(name = who)
