Format strings that contain '%'

[rick_muller]

I'm trying to do something along the lines of
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
ValueError: unsupported format character 't' (0x74) at index 1

although, obviously I can't do this, since python thinks that the '%t'
is a format string.

I've tried obvious permutations like

which also doesn't work.

For (template) reasons, I can't do

Will anything else work here?

Use %%

print "%%s %s" % "foo"
