Consider the following snippet of code from MySQLdb.py:

Skip, I'm not familiar with MySQLdb.py, and I have no idea what your example is about. From the rest of the message I feel it's not about MySQLdb at all, but about string formatting, butthe point escapes me because you never quite show what's in the format string and what error that gives. Could you give some examples based on first principles? A simple interactive session showing the various errors would be helpful...
