.format also supports item access directly:
>>> items = ["alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta"]
>>> print "{0[1]} {0[3]} {0[0]}".format(items)
beta delta alpha
It's clunkier in this example, but if you have more than one value being
formatted, this (and the "{0.foo}" syntax) can make digging into nested
data more convenient.
