In any case, I'm willing to give the TLC to convert the whole stdlib to str.format, so I just need your permission! Please don't - not before % is actually deprecated (which I hope won't happen until Python 4, with removal of % in Python 5, in the year when I retire, i.e. 2037).

Now this is news to me -- was there a discussion that changed the lifetime expectancy of str.mod? I'd always supposed it being deprecated at some point in 3.x.

Not that I'm opposed to keeping it... it will be a pain to migrate.
