Python: Over formatting

In the Python project I work on, some colleague likes to use the string's format method. Sometimes a bit too much for my taste. For instance, I can often see this kind of code:

my_string = "{}-{}".format(part1, part2)

Usually, I prefer to use an f-string:

my_string = f"{part1}-{part2}"

But it could be a matter of taste. However, in some cases, I would prefer to use another approach.

For instance, in the case of the print method, there is already an existing pattern. I see often this kind of code:

print("The value is {}".format(value))

I replace it usually with this code:

print("The value is", value)

A bit more annoying is the use of format inside logging. I often see this code:

logger.info("The value is {}".format(value))

In case of logging, the pattern is here for a reason. If logging level is set to WARNING for instance, you want to avoid the string formatting, which takes some processing time. The preferred pattern is the following:

logger.info("The value is %s", value)

Finally, there are the cases where the use of format is completely insane. Here is an example:

my_string = "{}".format(value)

Maybe my knowledge of Python is too limited, but value being already a string, is there any difference with this code:

my_string = value
