Stupid string formatting question

[Michael S. Fischer]

Why can't I do this?

    def foo(x):
      # Do some operations on x yielding a and b
      return a, b

    print "a = %s, b = %s" % (foo(x))

It seems counter-intuitive that although foo is defined to return a 2-item
tuple, the interpreter just doesn't get it.
