Hi Shi Mu,
Without more context, I'd have to guess that this looks like a format
string. Here's more information about them:
http://www.python.org/doc/lib/typesseq-strings.html
But can you show us where you saw this "%25f" thing though? Like bytes,
words can be "interpreted" in different ways. Offhand, another
alternative interpretation is as a url-escaped string:
######
>>> import urllib
>>>
>>> urllib.unquote('%25f')
'%f'
>>>
>>> urllib.quote_plus('hello world, this is a percent: %')
'hello+world%2C+this+is+a+percent%3A+%25'
######
So if you can tell us where you saw '%25f', that'll help us cut down on
the possible explanations that can better account for what you're seeing.
Good luck!
