R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:

In Python we often don't type check, we just let errors happen.  It is true 
that it would make the problem clearer to do a type check and issue a specific 
error message, but I don't know if it is worth it.  (The error would already 
have been clear if it weren't for the fact that % is the string formatting 
operator...)
