There is string formatting print formatspecifier_string % data_sequence The format specifier is similar to the one used in C's printf, and data sequence may be tuple or list. Dictionary may also be used for data, but it has its own way to specify string formatting since dictionary is unordered but "indexed" by the dict key. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
