Problem with string format

Hello, I have a strange problem with the string format: >>> '%s %s %s %s %s' % ['01', '02', '03', '04', '05'] Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in TypeError: not enough arguments for format string But as soon I use tuple it is working: >>> '%s %s %s %s %s' % ('01', '02',

Tuple passed to function recognised as string

Hello, I have following code: def test_func(val): print type(val) test_func(val=('val1')) test_func(val=('val1', 'val2')) The output is quite different: Why I have string in the first case? Thanks. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
