Answer 1

Python's string interpolation is similar to C's printf()

If you try:

name = "SpongeBob Squarepants"
print "Who lives in a Pineapple under the sea? %s" % name

The tag %s will be replaced with the name variable. You should take a look to the print function tags: http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html
