This is a good argument for making this a built-in (Barry, please add to your PEP!). Though I doubt that string % is taught in hour two -- you cna do everything you want with str() and string concatenation, both of which *are* taught in hour two. (And you can do *most* of what you want with print, which is taught in hour one. :-) --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
