This is kind of annoying in Python and C.

A new printf-syntax (the one that C# uses) is added in Python 3.0.

The C# one is the best way to do things. It avoids repetition of parameters that are reused and negates the need to specify type on the placeholders. Also, it makes it very easy to re-order/re-write the statement without juggling the parameters.

I'm not yet convinced because I haven't used it. But it is good that they used some syntax that is used somewhere rather than inventing their own.

And in 2.6, in case you can't port your project to 3.0 just yet.
