I've just started playing with plpython but ran into a issue when I
was trying to use standard python string formatting to generate a SQL
string for example:
s = "EXECUTE format('CREATE INDEX %s ON %s USING (column_name)' %
(index_name, table_name))"

but plpython then tried to run the EXECUTE instead of just setting
variable 's'. Why does this happen?

Best guess is you are seeing cross platform collision with:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-string.html#FUNCTIONS-STRING-FORMAT

Why not?:

s = format('CREATE INDEX %s ON %s USING (column_name)' %
(index_name, table_name))
