Firstly for those interested, I've tracked this down to "Learn Python
The Hard Way, 2nd Edition".  (Amt, please include a reference if
possible (especially when online) when you ask questions.)  The
question is available here:
http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ex16.html

As for your question, I suppose using the string.format() method is
another way that involves "strings, formats and escapes".  See here:
http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html  (and see the section on
str.format therein. )
