This has nothing to do with numpy, the issue is the string "%"

cannot convert list to a float (Line 3 in your example gives a list).
In '"%f" % x' the x has to be a number or tuple.
Does not work:
print "%f" % [1.0]
Yes that helps. Why is it that the %-operator requires a tuple and
does not work with a list?
Thus why doesn't this work: "%d %d"%[2,2]
but instead it has to be: "%d %d"%tuple([2,2])
or: "%d %d"%(2,2)
Allowing only a single sequence type to represent a collection of arguments for
interpolation (as opposed to a single argument for a single % interpolation
marker) helps resolve some ambiguities:
'%s' % ['something']
'%s' % ('something',)
