In fact, use parens with a single argument that may be a relatively
complex string % or .format expression.  Otherwise 2.x will think it's
being passed a tuple and display accordingly.

3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 don't understand this, but 3.3 does.

In a project I wanted to run on 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3,
I dedicated a python module to most of my string constants, and
converted as needed using a pair of helper functions.  If Jython had
been available with 2.7 compatibility at the time, I would've ignored
2.5 and 2.6; now Jython has a 2.7 beta which is good enough for at
least some of my purposes.
