It screams "magic" in a very un-Pythonic (and possibly very Perl-like) way. I'm not aware of any other part of the standard library grossly abusing standard operators in this way.
I think the use of the modulo operator for string substitution is pretty comparable, despite it being in the interpreter rather than in the stdlib. And some of us have come to love that, too.
