It would be useful for mo to include a comment in an f-string. For instance, take this code:
f"""
<a
href="{ escape(url) }"
target="_blank" { # users expect link to open in new tab }
>bla</a>
"""
It would be nice if this code was equivalent to:
f"""
<a
href="{ escape(url) }"
target="_blank"
>bla</a>
"""
You can include full Python expressions in between the curly brackets, but it looks like you can't include comments. Am I correct? Is there a way to do this?
From PEP498:
Comments, using the
'#'character, are not allowed inside an expression.
There is no way to comment other than putting a '#' character in Python, so it is not possible.
No. There is no comment in f-string.
When building a str, template engines may be overkill. Joining a list of str may be desirable.
s = ''.join([
'<a',
f' href="{escape(url)}"',
' target="_blank">',
# users expect link to open in new tab
'bla</a>',
])
You cannot write a comment inside an expression. But you can write a string in multiple fragments and write a comment between 2 fragments provided the next fragment starts on a different line:
s = (f"""
<a
href="{ escape(url) }"
target="_blank" """ # users expect link to open in new tab
f""">bla</a>
""")
