Me too, but because there's nothing better: Perl people think it's
*entirely* Pythonic to, e.g., need to type "listname" three times where they
only need to type it once <1/3 wink>. That much redundancy on a single line
of code is not helpful at all. This is simply an area where Perl is
friendlier & easier. As I mentioned in another msg, Python's
%(name)format
shines when format is non-trivial; alas, plain unqualified %s formats
account for the vast bulk of uses in my experience.
