I'm writing a python script that modifies the smb.conf file, and i need to write the characters '%U' in the file. I tried making a string like so:
str1 = "[%s%s]\n\tpath = /mnt/samba/%s%s/\%U" % (list[0], list[1], list[0], list[1]) but i keep getting: "TypeError: not enough arguments for format string". I've also tried making the string: str1 = "[%s%s]\n\tpath = /mnt/samba/%s%s/\%" % (list[0], list[1], list[0], list[1]) but i get: "ValueError: incomplete format". These errors lead me to believe that for some reason it is not escaping the '%' character. There has to be a way to write '%' to a file. Thanks in advance..
