In Python, can you have variables within triple quotes? If so, how?

Question

This is probably a very simple question for some, but it has me stumped. Can you use variables within python\'s triple-quotes?

In the following example, how do use

Answer 1

One of the ways in Python 2 :

>>> mystring =""" I like to wash clothes on %s
... I like to clean dishes %s
... """
>>> wash_clothes = 'tuesdays'
>>> clean_dishes = 'never'
>>> 
>>> print mystring % (wash_clothes, clean_dishes)
 I like to wash clothes on tuesdays
I like to clean dishes never

Also look at string formatting
