This is fixed in the next version. It checks to see
if your running on a tty before attempting to print out the
%'s. ie, something like:
# detect if were running on a tty or not
global isatty
if sys.stdout.isatty():
isatty = 1
else:
isatty = None
and then in the percent() callback, something like:
if isatty:
print percent magic stuff...
