Update of /cvsroot/python/python/dist/src/Doc/lib
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv7530/lib
Modified Files:
libstdtypes.tex
Log Message:
Added index entries similar to some recommended by Skip, and used the word
"interpolation" in the text, to make the string formatting material easier to
find.
This closes SF bug #487165.
Bugfix: this should be applied for Python 2.2.1.

String and Unicode objects have one unique built-in operation: the
! \code{\%} operator (modulo). Given \code{\var{format} \%

! \code{\%s} conversion are Unicode objects, the result will be a
! Unicode object as well.
