Instead of posting all those questions here, you can simply try it in an 
interactive python interpreter:

Apfelkiste:VecTcl chris$ python
Python 2.7.2 (default, Oct 11 2012, 20:14:37)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple Clang 4.0 (tags/Apple/clang-418.0.60)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> test='%%(%s)s'
 >>> test % 'foo'
'%(foo)s'
 >>>

 >>> fieldname='foo'
 >>> (fieldname,)*3
('foo', 'foo', 'foo')
 >>> test='first %s second %s third %s'
 >>> test % ((fieldname,)*3)
'first foo second foo third foo'
 >>>
