I think this is probably unnecessary if string formatting becomes a
function instead of the % operator (as has been suggested). I don't
think that:
write("""\
ERROR: Failed to import handler %s for function %s in file %s.
Improperly formed foobar string.""".substitute(handler, function, file),
to=sys.stderr)
is really any worse than:
printf("""\
ERROR: Failed to import handler %s for function %s in file %s.
Improperly formed foobar string.""",
handler, function, file,
to=sys.stderr)
