New submission from عبدالله شلي (Abdellah Chelli) <[email protected]>:
c/printf accepts this:
n=1;
printf("One hour.", n);
in other hand python/print rises an error:
n=1
print "One hour." % n
Exactly the % formatting operation.
(TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting)
This feature is very important when we come to I18n (translation using gettext).
As most translator don't know this work around "%i hour." or "(%i) One hour.".
This is not correct for many languages as I know like Arabic where they should
write some thing like "One hour." or "An hour.".

Could this fixed to have same behaviour as in c? More robust.
