Personally, I'm -1 on nuking implicit string concatenation; the examples provided for the 'why' aren't that strong in my experience, and the forced shift to concattenation is rather annoying when you're dealing with code limits (80 char limit for example)-

dprint("depends level cycle: %s: " "dropping cycle for %s from %s" % (curframe.atom, datom, curframe.currentpkg), "cycle")

FWLIW, I pretty much always write this as::

msg = "depends level cycle: %s: dropping cycle for %s from %s"
tup = cur_frame.atom, datom, cur_frame.current_pkg, "cycle"
dprint(msg % tup)

But yes, occasionally I run into problems when the string still doesn't fit on a single line. (Of course, I usually solve that by shortening the string...) ;-)
