Reading this link, I find this:
"Currently, using % for string formatting has a number of inconvenient
consequences:
* precedence issues: "a%sa" % "b"*4 produces 'abaabaabaaba', not
'abbbba' " [...]
Testing it locally:
>>> "a%sa" % "b"*4
'abaabaabaaba'
But "b"*4 is not a tuple, as the formatting arguments are supposed to be,
so why blame its erronious behaviour?
Works fine this way:
>>> "a%sa" % ("b"*4,)
'abbbba'
So I really do not see the problem. For my own format-strings, I always
add a final comma to make sure it's a tuple I'm using.
Just my $0.02.
