It even works on my Cygwin build:

$ python
Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 18 2007, 16:56:43)
[GCC 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)] on cygwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> "%%(%s)=%%s" % "hello"
'%(hello)=%s'
 >>>

I suspect the problem may lie somewhere else.
