Hi all. Line 102 of https://github.com/python/peps/blob/master/pep2html.py says:
print(__doc__ % globals(), file=out) and I've just spent all day trying to understand "__doc__ % globals()". Sure, I realise that globals() is a standard-library built-in functions that returns a dictionary representing the current global symbol table, and that the result of this expression is the value of the dictionary where the key is "__doc__", but I can't understand how this works. I've searched through dictionary tutorials to see whether they mention accessing dictionary values using a % (percent) operator, and they don't. I've searched through printf-string formatting tutorials, and they all say that I need a %-sign to start, and then some parentheses, so it can't be that either. Can someone please put me out of my misery - what, exactly, is the percent (%) sign doing in the expression "__doc__ % globals()"? Thank you! -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
