Python error not enough arguments for format string

Can anyone tell me whats wrong with this:

put(('%s%s.tar.gz' % config.SERVER_PROJECT_PATH, config.RELEASE))

TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

I just want insert two variables in to the string, is my syntax correct?

The syntax is incorrect. The string formatting arguments must be a tuple. You are creating a tuple with the formatted string and the second formatting argument. Use this instead:

put("%s%s.tar.gz" % (config.SERVER_PROJECT_PATH, config.RELEASE))

You need to put the two values in a tuple:

put('%s%s.tar.gz' % (config.SERVER_PROJECT_PATH, config.RELEASE))

otherwise Python sees this as two separate expressions to form a tuple, '%s%s.tar.gz' % config.SERVER_PROJECT_PATH and config.RELEASE.
