Hello, For container class derived from namedtuple, but which also behaves like a dictionary by implementing __getitem__ for non-integer index values, is there a special reserved method which allows intercepting % string formatting operations? I would like for my container type to behave appropriately depending on whether the string formatting operation has a string like this :
"whatever %s yadayada" % mycontainer # needs to act like a tuple "whatever %(key)s yadayada" % mycontainer # needs to act like a dictionary I looked through the Python data model docs at <http://docs.python.org/ reference/datamodel.html#emulating-container-types> but only found this: "If the left operand of a % operator is a string or Unicode object, no coercion takes place and the string formatting operation is invoked instead." Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
