New submission from Greg Jednaszewski <jednaszewski at gmail.com>:
Found on 2.6.2 and 2.6.4:
I expect that printing an uninitialized variable from a defaultdict should work. In fact it does with old-style string formatting. However, when you try to do it with new-style string formatting, it raises a KeyError.
>>> import collections
>>> d = collections.defaultdict(int)
>>> "{foo}".format(d)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: 'foo'
>>> "%(foo)d" % d
'0'
