All currently supported Python versions (3.6+) support string-formatting via f-strings. While PEP 498 (Literal String Interpolation) as well as the Python documention (tutorial, syntax reference) have some information on their usage, I was missing a reference which is terse, but still verbose enough to explain the syntax.

This API has been defined to encourage similarity between the Python modules that are used to access databases. By doing this, we hope to achieve a consistency leading to more easily understood modules, code that is generally more portable across databases, and a broader reach of database connectivity from Python.

Comments and questions about this specification may be directed to the SIG for Database Interfacing with Python.

For more information on database interfacing with Python and available packages see the Database Topic Guide.

This document describes the Python Database API Specification 2.0 and a set of common optional extensions. The previous version 1.0 version is still available as reference, in PEP 248. Package writers are encouraged to use this version of the specification as basis for new interfaces.
