Hi Crutcher,

We've created a separate list for discussing Python 3000.

Python currently supports 'S % X', where S is a strinng, and X is one of: * a sequence * a map * treated as (X,)

But I have some questions about this for python 3000. 1. Shouldn't there be a format method, like S.format(), or S.fmt()? 2. What about using call instead of / in addition to rmod? * "time: %s"(time.ctime()) == "time: %s" % time.ctime() * "%(a)s %(b)s"(a=1, b=2) == "%(a)s %(b)s" % {'a'=1, 'b'=2} -- Crutcher Dunnavant <crutcher at gmail.com> littlelanguages.com monket.samedi-studios.com
