[New-bugs-announce] [issue18031] The Python Tutorial says % string formatting will be removed

[Carlos Nepomuceno]

New submission from Carlos Nepomuceno:

It[1] says:
"Since str.format() is quite new, a lot of Python code still uses the % operator. However, because this old style of formatting will eventually be removed from the language, str.format() should generally be used."
