string-dot-format-extra-positional-arguments (F523)#

Derived from the Pyflakes linter.

Fix is sometimes available.

What it does#

Checks for str.format calls with unused positional arguments.

Why is this bad?#

Unused positional arguments are redundant, and often indicative of a mistake. They should be removed.

Example#

"Hello, {0}".format("world", "!")

Use instead: 

"Hello, {0}".format("world")
