???: if "{choice}" in self._command - BaiYouLing4 - Aug-23-2020
What does this do?
if "{choice}" in self._commandCurly braces are for replacement fields in strings for the .format method (or so I thought).So I don't understand what this code is doing.
self._command = "M876"
choice = "0"
Thanks for any/all help

The string isn't an f-string, so the test is for whether the literal string "{choice}" is in self._command. Since it isn't an f-string, the value of the variable choice is irrelevant. Did you try running a complete program with that code and appropriate values?

self._command contains the literal string "{choice}". If the author intended a replacement of "{choice}" by "0", he should have used f"{choice}" (for python version >= 3.6)
