Unable to format a string

Question

I am trying to format a text. Below is my code.

str = """
    def services = {0}
    try {
        // try code block
    } finally {
        // finally code block
    }
""".format(json.dumps(services))

But I am getting following error.

Key ' // try code block ' has no corresponding argument

Any help would be appreciated.

You need double curly braces around in the try catch part of the string as it is right now format is looking for extra arguments. Try try {{ }}.. so that the format will work properly.
