> Thank you, but let me rephrase it. I'm already using str.format() but I'd like to use '%' (BINARY_MODULO) operator instead.

That's unlikely to change.  If not deprecated already string

object's format method.

You might be able to get by with a change of your LOCALE setting
and/or a peek at the documentation for the locale module.
