You're printing a string, and never using that 'row' parameter.

Perhaps this will help illustrate:

    >>> print "spam %(foo)s eggs"
    spam %(foo)s eggs
    >>> print "spam %(foo)s eggs" % {'foo': "Wortle"}
    spam Wortle eggs

The 'print' statement doesn't care about the format specifiers; it
just wants a string expression. It's the formatting operator, '%',
that looks for them.
