Notice the leading "f'". Personally I wouldn't even go that far, just:

But there are plenty of places where f-strings are very useful.

 I wouldn't replace str.format() everywhere, nor would I replace
percent encoding everywhere - but in this case, I think Thomas is
correct. Not because it's 2024 (f-strings were brought in back in
2015, so they're hardly chronologically special),

I only meant that they have been around for 9 years and are usually more readable, so just change over already.  I had some inertia over them myself (imagine sticking with % formatting!) so I understand.

but because most of
this looks like debugging output that can take advantage of this
feature:
 print(f"if block {name[index]=} {index=}")
