Actually it is not a function, it is an operation (%).

>>> name, age = 'Michael', 30
>>> s = 'My name is %s and I am %d years old.'
>>> print s % (name, age)
My name is Michael and I am 30 years old.

Take a look at the Library Reference Manual, Section 2.1.5.1 "More String
Operations" (http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/typesseq-strings.html).
