R. David Murray added the comment:
What is it that doesn't fail? The expression in the title is the beginning of
a triple quoted string with no closing triple quote.
If you mean '' % [1] not falling, it has been that way forever (well, python2.4
is as far back as I can test), so if it is deemed worth changing it certainly
should not be backported.
I suspect it is some consequence of the C level similarities between lists and
dicts, since '' % {<anything>} is supposed to not produce an error.
