String substitution, a C-ism ported to Python...
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/typesseq-strings.html#l2h-33
http://www.linux.com/development/man/3/sprintf/

Examples:
'%08x' --> 0-padded hexidecimal notation for integers
'%08i' --> 0-padded decimal (integer) notation
'%012.3f' --> 0-padded float notation with 3 decimal places ( 12 gives the
minimum length of the string, 3 the length of the decimal, 0 the 0-padding,
f the notation type)
'%12.3f' --> space-padded version of the same

HTH,
Mike
