Python string formatting when already "{}" in the string

Question

I would like to know how could I format this string:

"){e<=2}"

This string is inside a function, so I would like to asign the number to a function parameter to change it whenever I want.

I tried:

"){e<={0}}".format(number)

But it is not working, Could anybody give me some advice? Thanks in advance

`{{` and `}}` would not be considered as placeholders by `format`: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5466451/how-can-i-print-literal-curly-brace-characters-in-python-string-and-also-use-fo, so you can write `"){{e<={0}}}"` instead of `"{e<={0}}"` — ionagamed, Mar 03 '20 at 10:45

Double the braces which do not correspond to the format placeholder...

"){{e<={0}}}".format(number)

You could also use an f-string, if using Python 3.6 or above.

f"){{e<={number}}}"

An old-school version for this:

"){e<=%d}" % (number)
'){e<=2}'
