Except that it's old, not elegant, error prone, feature poor, and not Pythonic!

But besides all _that_ (and possibly more) it's slightly amusing, i suppose.

Cling to the past much?

What's wrong Chris, is the syntax of the new format method too difficult for you? Or do you have a personal disliking for anything OOP?

Personally, i would suggest the OP should learn the new Python formatting methods and disregard the legacy printf style crap that has been copy/pasted from countless other languages.
