This is actually python. It is string insertion with a dictionary
instead of a list. Basically it is taking the Record (which is a
dictionary) and string substituting it in.
Where in the first form you have
"Hello %s. This is a string" % ("world")
Hello world. This is a string
And in this form you have
"Hello %(myvar). This is a string" % {'myvar': 'paris'}
Hello paris. This is a string
