Summary: Section 7.1, Sentence makes no sense

Details: From: http://www.python.org/doc/2.0/tut/node9.html
Section 7.1

This sentence doesn't make sense to me.
"The % operator interprets the left argument as a C much like a
sprintf()-style format string to be applied to the right argument, and
returns the string resulting from this formatting operation."

As a C which is like a sprintf format string?

Or is it supposed to be "a format string (much like C's sprintf) ..."?
