I also got the impression that it was going away. PEP 3101's abstract says: This PEP proposes a new system for built-in string formatting operations, intended as a replacement [sic] for the existing '%' string formatting operator. Under "Backward compatibility" it says that both systems can coexist "until it comes time to deprecate the older system". -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
