Uuuaaah, I can't stop learning YOU(python). Couldn't verify
the above example. Maybe some fault happened to you because the code
which raised the KeyError and the successfull one are the same for me.
But the following works:
>>> d={'1':2}   # Remark the quotmarks '1'
>>> '%(1)i'%d
'2'
>>> 

I even would not have believed that this kind of formatting would work.
But the more I think about it the more it becomes consequential and logical.
