I'm a casual python user so I need to understand more the history how they got to it. According to the RFC the f stands for formatted string. The $ I chose comes from C#. I don't feel strongly about either option, I think since IDEs will help with syntax highlighting it probably doesn't matter too much. I might look into other languages and create a short overview/comparison. Ilija
