It's not possible to set template for python with usuing f-string about vscode-print-it HOT 5 CLOSED

Hey @xxxxxxbox , thanks for the feedback. I decided to bite the bullet and just fix this bug by fixing the formatter. If you try out the latest version of print it, this configuration:

"print-it.python.template": "print(f'{{{raw}}=}')",

On this string:

var + "foo"

produces this print statement:

print(f'{var + "foo"=}')

Does that work for you?

Hi @bmalehorn. Now it works like a charm. Thanx a lot!

Glad it's working well!

One more suggestion. While testing once I selected my_var with nearest spaces and PrintIt produced the following result: print(f'{ my_var =}')

Due to spaces this statement doesn't work in python.

Not shure if it is a common problem. But adding to PrintIt simple trim / strip spaces next to "raw" could fix it.

This probably doesn't happen too often, because:

1. most print statements in most languages are not whitespace sensitive
2. If you put the cursor like this: my_v|ar where | is the cursor then run print-it, it will add a print statement for the current word my_var. You don't need need to select my_var yourself.

But I can't think of a reason why anyone would want leading / trailing whitespace, so I implemented your suggestion in bd07e7f. Whitespace is now trimmed from your selection before printing.

@bmalehorn, Thanks a lot!

P.S. Auto selection of word works great, but sometimes users need to manualy select part of statement for "printing"

For example:
var = car.sensors.speed

Auto selection would select only one of three words - car / sensors / speed
But a user sometimes would like to print:

car
car.sensors
car.sensors.speed

@xxxxxxbox Ah yep that makes sense. I also have to select to print expressions like that.

Closing this ticket as the underlying issue is resolved.
