#70435 — how to string format when string have {

I have the following string:

nginx_conf = '''
server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  dev.{project_url};

    location / {
        proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        include     /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
    }

    location /media  {
	alias /home/mariano/PycharmProjects/{project_name}/{project_name}/media;
        expires 30d;

    }
    location /static  {
	alias /home/mariano/PycharmProjects/{project_name}/{project_name}/static;
        expires 30d;
    }

    error_page   500 502  503 504  /50x.html;
    location =  /50x.html {
        root    html;
        }
}'''

And I want to format like this:

context = {
 "project_name":project_name,
 "project_url":project_url,
 }

nginx_conf.format(**context)


but since the string have { i can't.
Is there a way to solve this?

Are you in full control of the source string? You can escape the
braces as explained here:

https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/string.html#format-string-syntax

If you're not in full control (eg if it comes from a user's input), or
if you don't like the idea of doubling all your braces, you could
switch to percent-formatting, or some other form of interpolation. But
the easiest would be to simply escape them.

I second Chris Angelico's suggestion about using the older percent
formatting:

nginx_conf = '''
server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  dev.%(project_url)s;
    location / {
        proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        include     /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
    }
    location /media  {
	alias /home/mariano/PycharmProjects/%(project_name)s/%(project_name)s/media;
        expires 30d;
    }
    location /static  {
	alias /home/mariano/PycharmProjects/%(project_name)s/%(project_name)s/static;
        expires 30d;
    }
    error_page   500 502  503 504  /50x.html;
    location =  /50x.html {
        root    html;
        }
}'''
context = {
 "project_name":project_name,
 "project_url":project_url,
 }

print(nginx_conf % context)

Some regex gymnastics in the morning (not recommended):

>>> print(nginx_conf)

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  dev.{project_url};

    location / {
        proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        include     /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
    }

    location /media  {
        alias 
/home/mariano/PycharmProjects/{project_name}/{project_name}/media;
        expires 30d;

    }
    location /static  {
        alias 
/home/mariano/PycharmProjects/{project_name}/{project_name}/static;
        expires 30d;
    }

    error_page   500 502  503 504  /50x.html;
    location =  /50x.html {
        root    html;
        }
}
>>> fmt = re.compile(r"((\{)(?!\w)|(?<!\w)(\}))").sub(r"\1\1", nginx_conf)
>>> print(fmt)

server {{
    listen       80;
    server_name  dev.{project_url};

    location / {{
        proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        include     /etc/nginx/proxy.conf;
    }}

    location /media  {{
        alias

        expires 30d;

    }}
    location /static  {{
        alias 
/home/mariano/PycharmProjects/{project_name}/{project_name}/static;
        expires 30d;
    }}

    error_page   500 502  503 504  /50x.html;
    location =  /50x.html {{
        root    html;
        }}
}}
>>> print(fmt.format(project_name="MYPROJECT", project_url="MYPROJECT.COM"))

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  dev.MYPROJECT.COM;

    location / {
        proxy_pass  http://127.0.0.1:8080;

    }

    location /media  {
        alias /home/mariano/PycharmProjects/MYPROJECT/MYPROJECT/media;
        expires 30d;

    }
    location /static  {
        alias /home/mariano/PycharmProjects/MYPROJECT/MYPROJECT/static;
        expires 30d;
    }

    error_page   500 502  503 504  /50x.html;
    location =  /50x.html {
        root    html;

You ask me to believe that a regex would be the best solution here?
There's no use trying; one CAN'T believe impossible things.
