In Py2, because '%15s' can actually take 17 characters, I have to use '%15s'

Wow. I thought there would be some combination using %.15s but I can't
get that to work. :-(
'%.15s' % 'abcdefghij1234567'
'abcdefghij12345'
'{:.15}'.format('abcdefghij1234567')
'abcdefghij12345'
Or, depending on what you're after:
'%15.15s' % 'abcde'
' abcde'
'%15.15s' % 'abcdefghij1234567'
'abcdefghij12345'
Huh. Wish I'd known about that way back when! ;)
