Issue with .format on triple """ ( print(""" """)

So, I have this draw_skeleton function with a printed skeleton on it so i have to use the triple """ but i can't get it formated with anything i get a ValueError back. I don't understand why.

Here's my code it's located on Personal_game.py : https://w.trhou.se/75mcyq871u

The problem is the curly braces located on your skeleton's nose. You can simply substitute them for '|' instead and this works fine. Or, if you still want the braces, you can insert two additional {}, then format as:

...""".format(health, "}", "{"))

As a side note, your argument 'enemy' seems redundant, unless you're planning on using it in your function later you're already selecting that particular 'enemy' by specifying the name of the function call.
