PEP 750 – Tag Strings For Writing Domain-Specific Languages. A new PEP by Jim Baker, Guido van Rossum and Paul Everitt that proposes introducing a feature to Python inspired by JavaScript's tagged template literals.
F strings in Python already use a f"f prefix", this proposes allowing any Python symbol in the current scope to be used as a string prefix as well.
I'm excited about this. Imagine being able to compose SQL queries like this:
query = sql"select * from articles where id = {id}"
Where the sql tag ensures that the {id} value there is correctly quoted and escaped.
Currently under active discussion on the official Python discussion forum.
