String formatting
How hard will it be to get Python string formatting / interpolation, where we can do things like:
print("My name is %s." % name)
I'll work on this @nwinter with the vocal support of @differentmatt. Will keep you up to date how it goes.
I was looking at this, looks like in python 3, the newer format method might be a better way to go?
'My name is {0}'.format(name)
I have no idea which would be easier to implement and I'd be happy with either version.

@nemoyatpeace thank you for the input. The .format method is a way better approach as it seems. It can do more, it is easier to use and it will also be easier to implement as far as I can see. So I'll go with this one first.
@nwinter @differentmatt if you guys want, I can also try to implement the % modula format version, although python users are actually saying that you should only use it when you don't know about the .format version or when you want to support backwards compatibility to old python versions (such as 2.5). Let me know what you guys think about this!
Was going to start on it yesterday. But my hdd died. Going to try to find a new one. Will keep you posted.
Ok my laptop is working again with an ssd and i'm installed in the UK. Will start digging into the code while I start solving this solution, so that I can move on to new issues soon. Will keep you posted.
