Description
First and easy part of #6163.
After I started to work on this I realized that making
bad-string-format-type
andbad-format-character
work on new-style formatting and f-strings will require a change topylint.checkers.utils.parse_format_method_string
.As this also leads to small adjustments in the callers of this function, I would rather do this in a separate PR, and then continue working on
bas-string-format-type
andbad-format-character
.
