I didn't say it wasn't readable, I said other things were easier to
read. There's something nice about building up strings in-line, as
opposed to having to look somewhere to see what's being interpolated.
To give a more complex example, consider:
print "$scheme://$host:$port/$route#$fragment"
That certainly seems easier to me to read than:
print "%s://%s:%s/%s#%s" % (scheme,
port,
host,
route,
fragment)
because I don't have to line up the nth format specifier with the nth
data item.
