In Py2, because '%15s' can actually take 17 characters, I have to use '%15s' % datavalue[:15] everywhere. Wow. I thought there would be some combination using %.15s but I can't get that to work. :-( I believe you wanted this. a='01234567890123456' len(a) 17 b = '%15.15s' % a b;len(b) '012345678901234' 15

Cool!
