Guido van Rossum [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment:
It's straightforward if you consider the implementation of the
requirement that %% renders a single percent sign: the second % is
parsed just like any other formatting code (i, d, f, etc.) and the stuff
between the first % and the formatting
nadav [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment:
The main problem with this is that the following code does not make any
sense:
%(a)% % dict(a=3)
It has no semantic meaning (take the dictionary paramater a, and do nothing
with it).
It must be a user bug (except in very wierd cases).
I agree that
Georg Brandl [EMAIL PROTECTED] added the comment:
I'd rather see it this way: It is a programming error if a format string
contains a reference to a nonexisting dictionary key, no matter what
formatting specifier is used. The implementation is quite consistent here.

Or, better::

passing a generator, instead of a list created from a generator, to
the tuple constructor.
Note that your problem has nothing to do with map itself.
String interpolation using % requires either many individual
arguments, or a single *tuple* argument. A list is printed
as itself.

My template outside of the '%s' characters contains only commas and
spaces, and within, neither commas nor spaces. Given that information,
is there any reason it might not work properly?

Any input? I've looked through the
template = '%s, %s, %s'
values = ('Tom', 'Dick', 'Harry')
formatted = template % values
import re
unformat_string = template.replace('%s', '([^, ]+)')
unformatter = re.compile(unformat_string)

Only you know what anomalies will be found in your data-sets. If
