Printing formatted tuple values

This may be the simplest of questions. But I tried to print the individual values of the tuple in the following manner. 

mytuple=('new','lets python','python 2.7')

>>> print "%{0} experience, %{1} with %{2} " %mytuple
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#25>", line 1, in <module>
    print "%{0} experience, %{1} with %{2} " %mytuple
ValueError: unsupported format character '{' (0x7b) at index 1

I want to print the output to be like the following.

"new experience, lets python with python 2.7"

I don't remember where it was it done. Is it called unpacking tuple values, printing formatted tuples.

I've come across the problem with tuples formatting and came to a solution:

mydate = (9, 1) print("The date is ({date[0]}, {date[1]})".format(date=mydate)) The date is (9, 1)

(It seems the solution is for only some problems, with fixed tuples that we know of.)

Only need to modify a little：

>>> mytuple=('new','lets python','python 2.7')
>>> print "%s experience, %s with %s " %mytuple
new experience, lets python with python 2.7 
>>>

you just mixed up printf and str.format, you need choose one of them:

>>> tuple1 = ("hello", "world", "helloworld")
>>> print("%s, %s, %s" % tuple1)

or:

>>> tuple1 = ("hello", "world", "helloworld")
>>> print("{}, {}, {}".format(*tuple1))

You can any one of the method. However the format thing is simpler and you can manage it more easily.

>>> a = '{0} HI {1}, Wassup {2}'
>>> a.format('a', 'b', 'c')
'a HI b, Wassup c'
>>> b = ('a' , 'f', 'g')
>>> a.format(*b)
'a HI f, Wassup g'

You could use format method and asterisk to solve the problem.

please refer to this link for further details 

>>mytuple=('new','lets python','python 2.7')
>>print "{0} experience, {1} with {2} ".format(*mytuple)
new experience, lets python with python 2.7

Instead of mixing printf-style formating and str.format, choose one:

printf-style formatting:

>>> mytuple = ('new','lets python','python 2.7')
>>> print "%s experience, %s with %s" % mytuple
new experience, lets python with python 2.7

str.format:

>>> print "{0} experience, {1} with {2}".format(*mytuple)
new experience, lets python with python 2.7
