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...)
