python string format calling a function

Question

Is there a way to format with the new format syntax a string from a function call? for example:

"my request url was {0.get_full_path()}".format(request)

so it calls the function get_full_path function inside the string and not as a parameter in the format function.

EDIT: Here is another example that will probably show my frustration better, this is what I would like:

"{0.full_name()} {0.full_last_name()} and my nick name is {0.full_nick_name()}".format(user)

this is what I want to avoid:

"{0} and {1} and my nick name is {2}".format(user.full_name(), user.full_last_name(), user.full_nick_name())

Answer 1

Not sure if you can modify the object, but you could modify or wrap the object to make the functions properties. Then they would look like attributes, and you could do it as

class WrapperClass(originalRequest):
    @property
    def full_name(self):
        return super(WrapperClass, self).full_name()

"{0.full_name} {0.full_last_name} and my nick name is {0.full_nick_name}".format(user)

which IS legal.
