What it does

Checks for uses of str(), repr(), and ascii() as explicit type conversions within f-strings.

Why is this bad?

f-strings support dedicated conversion flags for these types, which are more succinct and idiomatic.

Note that, in many cases, calling str() within an f-string is unnecessary and can be removed entirely, as the value will be converted to a string automatically, the notable exception being for classes that implement a custom __format__ method.

Example

a = "some string"
f"{repr(a)}"

Use instead:

a = "some string"
f"{a!r}"
