I've been trying to get the string formatting operator (%) to work with more arguments than the format string requires, but I can find no way to do that. For example:
>>> "%i" % 10 '10' >>> "i" % 10 Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting The thing is, I want to get format strings from the user, and I don't want to require the user to consume all the arguments. docs.python.org doesn't seem to have any clues on how to achieve this, and I can't think of what to google for. Could it be as I fear, that it is impossible? Fredrik Tolf -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
