printing special character % in python without extra ' ' around it

I'm trying to print like this 

per = repr('%')
print('Accuracy score is %s%s'%(round(accuracy*100,2),per))

which i hope to display Accuracy score is 78.13% it returns Accuracy score is 78.13'%'. I don't want that awkward ' ' sticking around my %. How could i remove that ' '? or is there any way to print it?

You just have to use r'%' in place of per in

print('Accuracy score is %s%s'%(round(accuracy*100,2),r'%'))

f-strings are string literals which provide a readable way to include the value of Python expressions inside strings.

f'Accuracy score is {round(accuracy*100,2)}'

By using repr('%') you are adding the extra quotation marks:

>>> per1 = '%'
>>> per2 = repr('%')
>>> per1
'%'
>>> per2
"'%'"

But honestly, an easier way would be to just put an escaped % literal in your print statement. For the % you would escape it with another %, e.g.:

print('Accuracy score is %s%% '%(round(accuracy*100,2)))
Accuracy score is 78.13%

You could use .format instead

print('Accuracy score is {}%'.format(round(accuracy*100,2)))

Output:

Accuracy score is 97.8%

You can include a literal % with a double %% like so:

print('Accuracy score is %s%%' % round(accuracy*100,2))
