If you want to know what python-dev have in mind, you have to ask them, not me. But as I see it, the earliest % formatting could be removed would be Python 3.2: Python 3.1 to get a formal deprecation warning, with removal no earlier than 3.2. So you've got about a year to change their mind about deprecating the old style, or alternatively, a year to get used to the new style, followed by another year for % to go away completely. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
