Summary: % operator bug

Initial Comment:
The attached code snippet is contains a function with a
return value using the percent operator, but the
interpreter complains about a TypeError, which is
incorrect.

Output from script is:
chris at py:~/tmp/Python-2.4$ ./python ~/python/bug.py
10 <type 'int'>
0 <type 'int'>
0 <type 'int'>
0 <type 'int'>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/chris/python/bug.py", line 13, in ?
    str_ip = string_ip_from_long(0x0a000000L)
  File "/home/chris/python/bug.py", line 11, in
string_ip_from_long
    return ('%d.%d.%d.%d' % octets)
TypeError: int argument required

% operator requires a tuple, but you're giving it a list.

  >>> "%d.%d"%[1,2]
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  TypeError: int argument required
  >>> "%d.%d"%(1,2)
  '1.2'


2.3.6.2 String Formatting Operations 
http://docs.python.org/lib/typesseq-strings.html

% behaves as documented and is not likely a bug.
