Having seen a number of comments like this over the years (about the
difficulty of searching for symbol meanings), I just started, last
night, a symbol index listing nearly all Python syntax uses of
non-alpha-or-digit ascii symbols. When I finish and upload it
somewhere, I will post an announcement with the link.

This will be excellent, Terry.
For the present case, perhaps we should also point out that in
python 3.0:
" Note
The formatting operations described here are obsolete and may go away in
future versions of Python. Use the new String Formatting in new code."
