Thanks for the replies... I KNEW there was a simple way to escape the
% but I had no idea what it was (I just had conviction).

I was thrown when the \ didn't escape it... never knew about %%.  But

Doubling an escape char, whatever it is, is a common convention:
>>> print("Print a {{}} format string line this: {{{}}}".format(2))
Print a {} format string line this: {2}
