%s = send object to str() first then drop it into the string
%r = send object to repr() first then drop it into the string
pretty straightforward:
>>> x = 'foo'
>>> str(x)
'foo'
>>> repr(x)
"'foo'"
why do people do %r at all? to get the quotes for free: :-)
>>> x = 'Python'
>>> print "What is t
i forgot to define these:
str() - printable/human-readable string representation of an object
repr() - evaluatable string representation of an object (can "eval()"
it, meaning it is a string representation that evaluates to a Python
object)
in other words:
x = 'foo'
str(x)
> 'foo'
