calling function in print(""" """)

I want to call a function in formatted output of string using print(""" """) function of Python. For example:

print("""
something.......something...
abs(-10.5)
and then again some string......
""")

Is there any way to do it?

This is how you can do it using the new and improved string formatting method (Python 2.6 and up):

print("""
something.......something...
{0}
and then again some string......
""".format(abs(-10.5)))

You should do it like this:

print("""
something.......something...
%s
and then again some string......
""" % abs(-10.5))

Instead of %s you can for example use %.3f which will give you 3 decimals precision, i.e. 10.500. See the docs for more information.
