Format: KeyError when using curly brackets in strings

Question

I\'m running the following code:

asset = {}
asset[\'abc\'] = \'def\'
print type(asset)
print asset[\'abc\']
query = \'{\"abc\": \"{abc}\"}\'.format(abc=asset         


        

Answer 1

wrap the outer braces in braces:

query = '{{"abc": "{abc}"}}'.format(abc=asset['abc'])
print query
{"abc": "def"}
