Marc> Many newbie code I have seen avoids it by string concatenation:
Marc> greeting = 'Hello, my name is ' + name + ' and I am ' + str(age) + '
old.'

I see Python code like that written by people with a C/C++ background. I
don't think you can necessarily chalk that up to %-string avoidance. They
learn that + will concatenate two strings and don't look further.
