#58224 — Python wart

Quite often I type this

print('Total of accounts %.2f', total)

when I meant to type this

print('Total of accounts %.2f' % total)

Do I have to raise a PEP to get this stupid language changed so that it 
dynamically recognises what I want it to do and acts accordingly?

Yours most frustratedly.
