I'd like some help understanding why the third call to print() raises AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'format'

from os import path
import inspect


def myfunction():
   print(inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name, path.basename(__file__))
   print(f"{inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name} {path.basename(__file__)}")
   print("{} {}").format(inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name, path.basename(__file__))


myfunction()

You're closing the parentheses before format, so you're calling format on the value returned by print (which is None). It should be print("{} {}".format(inspect.currentframe().f_code.co_name, path.basename(__file__))) - https://ideone.com/4z9NRl

Thanks. Apparently the " ". syntax will require a bit more unlearning on my part.

I have closed this question because the issue is a simple typographical error (format is an argument for the print, not a function to be applied to the print result). Also, check this help page.
