One thing I found strange about strings in Python is that there doesn’t seem to be much of a material difference between using single and double quotes. In other languages, string interpolation only works inside doubles and singles are treated as exact literals but strong formatting in python works differently (as I’m sure you’ll find soon). The only time I can see a need to choose one over the other is when you have quotes inside your strings. Maybe someone can correct me on this or point out the relevant idiom. Still, keep up the good work man. I waited to long to invest time in learning Python and I have to say it’s been a real joy since I started a few months ago.
Yeah me too. f'{}...' usually meets my needs and I only use format when I need to use printf style formatting or the expression I want to print is complex enough to impact readability inside a simple interpolation.
I believe the %-format approach is from python2 and str.format() is preferred in python3. You still see it a lot though.

After reading some articles and blog posts I found out that:
I am still figuring out the best practices but I personally like the
