Format string with possible non-existing arguments in Python -

-

i've searched this, i'm not sure how word i'm asking, it's difficult find whether has posted solution.

i'd format variables descriptive string. example:

'my name {name}. eat {food}.'.format(name='ben', food='pizza')

gives (obviously): 'my name ben. eat pizza.'

but i'd omit entire second sentence in case food none or '' (empty). so:

'my name {name}. eat {food}.'.format(name='ben', food='')

gives: 'my name ben.'

is there can wrap around second sentence make conditional on there being non-blank value of food? can in inelegant way joining strings , suchlike, looking more pythonic solution. perhaps need subclass formatter, i'm not sure start that.

(as aside, know winamp used able in format strings depending on whether tags present or not in mp3 file.)

its question, way work around 

food = "pizza" food = "i eat {food}".format(food = food) print ('my name {name}.%s'.format(name='ben')%(food if food else "")) # >>> name ben.i eat pizza   food = "" food = "i eat {food}".format(food = food) print ('my name {name}.%s'.format(name='ben')%(food if food else "")) # >>> name ben.

this follow question undefined reference rsa_generate_key in openssl? have openssl program generate rsa key, follows : #include <stdio.h> #include <openssl/rsa.h> #include <openssl/pem.h> int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { rsa *r = null; int ret; r = rsa_new(); bignum *bne = null; ret = rsa_generate_key_ex(r, 2048, bne, null); return 0; } when compile gcc -i../include rsatest.c -lcrypto -l. i undefined reference errors functions in libraries gdi32 , zlib. so correct this, have add -lz , -lgdi32, as gcc -i../include/ rsatest.c -lcrypto -lz -lgdi32 -l. my question is, aren't static libcrypto , libssl self sufficient? in why having add libraries make work? there option should have added while compiling library prevent this? i'm using 64 bit windows mingw compiler. made openssl library of msys , make.

when draw attributed string fixed line height text kit, characters aligned bottom of line fragment. while make sense on 1 line characters varying in size, breaks flow of text multiple lines. baselines appear decided largest descender each line. i've found article people behind sketch explaining exact problem in bit more detail , showing solution does, not explaining how achieved this. this want basically: when showing 2 lines large line height, result far ideal: the code i'm using: let smallfont = uifont.systemfont(ofsize: 15) let bigfont = uifont.systemfont(ofsize: 25) let paragraphstyle = nsmutableparagraphstyle() paragraphstyle.minimumlineheight = 22 paragraphstyle.maximumlineheight = 22 var attributes = [ nsfontattributename: smallfont, nsparagraphstyleattributename: paragraphstyle ] let textstorage = nstextstorage() let textcontainer = nstextcontainer(size: cgsize(width: 250, height: 500)) let layoutmanager = nslayoutmanager() textstorage.append(n...
