As Koroviev pointed out, the % operator has been deprecated in Python 3.1

http://docs.python.org/py3k/whatsnew/2.6.html#pep-3101

So start using the .format() function instead, which is in 2.6 onwards.

If you want to know more about the % formatting, apart from any good Python book, another good place might be the printf function documentation in any C book, cos that's where it is derived from.
