I found them using https://github.com/xZise/flake8-string-format (and `git grep {}` due to https://github.com/xZise/flake8-string-format/issues/10).\n\nSome have already been fixed by @montefra in 1.5.x:\n- 6155084b\n- 6ac01bd02\n- 0a66aee1\n\nI've submitted two PRs to fix other related issues:\n- #5701\n- #5702\n\nmatplotlib [1.4.x](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/21f46ff14ea65eeb725a4fd6c36642dddf3fea79)  [supposedly](http://matplotlib.org/users/whats_new.html) supports Python 2.6, but the 1.4.3 release indicates that it is the last patch release, and there is no 1.4.x branch that I can submit PRs to.\nIronically, this means that 1.5.x supports Python 2.6 better than the 1.4.x series.\n\nI've packaged five commits ready to be merged into 1.4.x, if desired.\nhttps://github.com/jayvdb/matplotlib/tree/v1.4.3-py26-str.format\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jayvdb","@type":"Person","name":"jayvdb"},"datePublished":"2015-12-20T02:31:21.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/5703/matplotlib/issues/5703"}
