Hello Python folks,
I have a function where I'd like to prefix a format string via a
`prefix' string. The definition of the base method is as follows:
#START CODE
def print_message(prefix, out_stream, fmt, *args, **kwargs):
""" Print out [prefix]: [message] """
message = fmt
if 0 < len(kwargs.keys()):
message = message % kwargs
if 0 < len(args):
message = message % args
out_stream.write(message + "\n")
#END CODE
My python 2.4.5 interpreter fails at `message % args' claiming the
following:
File "logging.py", line 10, in print_message
message = message % (args)
TypeError: not all arguments converted during string formatting
Thus I was wondering what the proper means was for formatting
strings. I'm new to this portion of Python, so I obviously didn't
apply the right syntax.
TIA!
