OK I am clearly wrong with the statement I made.  I had assumed the
statement (*) that it would be deprecated in 3.1 was carried through, I
had not actually checked the reality in the 3.1 and 3.2 differences
documents.  My apologies for misdirection, thanks for pulling me up on
this.


(*) There is no statement of when deprecation would happen in PEP 3101
itself http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3101/ but there is an explicit
statement in
http://docs.python.org/release/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html#pep-3101-a-new-approach-to-string-formatting which clearly didn't happen even though it led to a lot of people thinking it would.
