I think you need to use a tuple for the second case to make it comparable to
the first.
It doesn't actually make that big a difference - I'm guessing a
Py_INCREF shortcut ends up getting used either way:
$ ./python -m timeit "'%s' % 'nothing'"
10000000 loops, best of 3: 0.0848 usec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit "'%s' % 'nothing',"
10000000 loops, best of 3: 0.133 usec per loop
$ ./python -m timeit "'' % ()"
1000000 loops, best of 3: 0.513 usec per loop
(times are a bit variable at this very moment since I have a few
different apps open)
Cheers,
Nick.
