Guido's time machine strikes again:

>>> foo, bar, quux = 1, 2, '3'
>>> print ("A template string - here: %s it goes\n" % foo +
...        "Also multiple values: %s, %s\n" % ( bar, quux ) +
...        "Quoting percent (%s) sings probably not needed...\n" % '%')
A template string - here: 1 it goes
Also multiple values: 2, 3
Quoting percent (%) sings probably not needed...
