[Tutor] Re: How to leave literal %s in output of formatted string

[Jeff Kowalczyk]

Good point, the direct subsitution will do the trick

>>> s = '%s download %s' % (VendorID, '%s')

If anyone knows, I'm still curious to know if there is an
escape character for %, for more complex cases that
may come up in the future.

This is a suggestion from one newbie to another--I'm sure there's a
better way to do this, but this worked:

VendorID = 'ACME'
ReplacementString = '%s'
s = '%s Download %s' % (VendorID, ReplacementString)
