I'll let the OP be the judge of that.

I don't know why you keep raising Python 2 as though it matters. As I
pointed out, everything I discussed works fine on Python 2 without any
change.

More to the point, *even if* they continue using ‘%’ formatting, the
primary point was to use named parameters.

That is relevant to Python 3 and Python 2; it is relevant to ‘%’
formatting and ‘str.format’ formatting. None of those need to change.

So I encourage the OP to try using named format parameters in *any* of
those, and then judge whether it is helpful.
