I forgot also, not to mention that Python itself is moving away from "%" as a formatting operator, in favor of the newer .format() method which has yet *another* syntax: see pep 3101: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3101/ http://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#formatspec I love the format and pyformat styles a lot for Python programming but I feel like they cause a lot of confusion when they are additionally interpreted by a DBAPI. It runs you into various "double-escaping" types of situations. _______________________________________________ DB-SIG maillist - DB-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/db-sig
