Except that it's old, not elegant, error prone, feature poor, and not Pythonic! But besides all _that_ (and possibly more) it's slightly amusing, i suppose. Cling to the past much? What's wrong Chris, is the syntax of the new format method too difficult for you? Or do you have a personal disliking for anything OOP? Personally, i would suggest the OP should learn the new Python formatting methods and disregard the legacy printf style crap that has been copy/pasted from countless other languages. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
