In a case like
print '%s%s' %42 , 333
...
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string
it would be ambiguous whether 333 was intended as a second formatting
argument or as a second thing to be printed.
Here's where the Language Reference comes in handy:
print_stmt ::= "print" ( [expression ("," expression)* [","]]
expression_list ::= expression ( "," expression )* [","] # An expression
list containing at least one comma yields a tuple
Given that, there is no ambiguity in print '%s%s' %42 , 333
