Note that your problem has nothing to do with map itself. String
interpolation using % requires either many individual arguments, or a
single *tuple* argument. A list is printed as itself.
py> "%s, %s" % ['hello', 'world']
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string
py> "%s" % ['hello', 'world']
"['hello', 'world']"
So the answer is always use tuple(...) as others pointed.
