There are two kinds of format strings in Python: those acceptable to
the Python built-in format operator %, labelled as
‘python-format’, and those acceptable to the format method
of the ‘str’ object.
Python % format strings are described in
Python Library reference /
5. Built-in Types /
5.6. Sequence Types /
