  1. Only two lines of code are required: an explicit check for an empty string, and a raise statement. +
  2. I don’t think I’ve mentioned this yet anywhere in this book, so let this serve as your final lesson in string formatting. Starting in Python 3.1, you can skip the numbers when using positional indexes in a format specifier. That is, instead of using the format specifier {0} to refer to the first parameter to the format() method, you can simply use {} and Python will fill in the proper positional index for you. This works for any number of arguments; the first {} is {0}, the second {} is {1}, and so forth.
