New submission from nadav <blop.blopy at gmail.com>:
>>> "%.%s" % ()
'%s'
>>> "%(a).%(b)s" % dict(a=2)
'%(b)s'
>>> "%(a).%(b)s" % dict(a=2, b=3)
'%(b)s'
>>> "%(a).%(b)s" % dict()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#6>", line 1, in -toplevel-
"%(a).%(b)s" % dict()
KeyError: 'a'
this is counter intuitive and cannot be deduced from the documentation.
