!string.templatelib --- Support for template string literals — Helper functions

Applies formatted string literal conversion semantics to the given object obj.

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Applies formatted string literal conversion semantics to the given object obj. This is frequently useful for custom template string processing logic. Three conversion flags are currently supported 's' which calls str on the value (like !s), 'r' which calls repr (like !r), and 'a' which calls ascii (like !a). If the conversion flag is None, obj is returned unchanged. Attribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0. Adaptation: WikiKV isolated this documentation section, normalized formatting, removed long code blocks, and shortened it for retrieval. Verify version-sensitive details at the source.
