Python string formatting when already "{}" in the string

Question

I would like to know how could I format this string:

"){e<=2}"

This string is inside a function, so I would like to asign the number to a function parameter to change it whenever I want.

I tried:

"){e<={0}}".format(number)

But it is not working, Could anybody give me some advice? Thanks in advance

{{ and }} would not be considered as placeholders by format: stackoverflow.com/questions/5466451/…, so you can write "){{e<={0}}}" instead of "{e<={0}}" — ionagamed

Double the braces which do not correspond to the format placeholder...

"){{e<={0}}}".format(number)

You could also use an f-string, if using Python 3.6 or above.

f"){{e<={number}}}"

An old-school version for this:

"){e<=%d}" % (number)
'){e<=2}'
