Ken Basye <ken.ba...@gmail.com> added the comment:
If someone's going to fix this, perhaps they might consider also adding the
following clarification sentence after 'The mapping key selects the value to be
formatted from the mapping.'
The mapping key is interpreted as a string; a key error is raised if the
dictionary does not have a matching string key.
I don't think it's worth adding it, but consider this example:
>>> d = {2:2, '2':'two'}
>>> '%(2)s' % d
'two'
