To a certain extent, yes. However, hiding this specific difference would
mean that a) we'd have to backport the format string parser from CPython
and b) it would only work for literal format strings, i.e. this won't work:
def func(fstr):
return fstr.format(1,2)
func('{} abc {}')
Meaning that even just a slight refactoring might then break your code.
This kind of partial "make it look as if it worked" is a very bad idea.
