What is PEP 8 and Pep 257?

A Summary of PEP 8: Style Guide for Python Code and PEP 257: Docstring Conventions. Most programming languages follow a basic style or formatting standard to make it easy for others to read your code. In Python, we have the PEP 8 and the PEP 257 conventions. PEP stands for “Python Enhancement Proposal”.

What is Pep 215?

PEP 215 proposes a new string prefix representation such as $"" which signal to Python that a new type of string is present. $ -strings would have to interact with the existing r-prefixes and u-prefixes, essentially doubling the number of string prefix combinations.

What is Pep 292?

PEP 292 is simpler than this because it involves no syntax changes and has much simpler rules for what substitutions can occur in the string. Python currently supports a string substitution syntax based on C's printf () ' % ' formatting character [1].
