Python broken %

That's now how I read it.  I didn't find any hints that %s takes its arg as 
(x) directly following the %s.

The format of the % stuff is
 "string with %s and such" % arg or (args)

The arg you want to print goes on the right of the % operator, not inline in 
the format string.

>>> "asdf %s asdf" % "foo"
'asdf foo asdf'
>>>

>>> "asdf %s asdf" % (13.6 * 2)
'asdf 27.2 asdf'
>>>
