Comment (by Bill Meek <keemllib@…>):

 Mark,

 Pardon my lack of Python skills, but it looks like version 2.x
 supports two print %<x> syntaxes but 3.x only supports one:
 {{{
 $ python2

 >>> print('''Some String: %s''') % 'something else'
 Some String: something else

 >>> print('''Some String: %s''' % 'something else')
 Some String: something else


 $ python3
 >>> print('''Some String: %s''' % 'something else')
 Some String: something else

 >>> print('''Some String: %s''') % 'something else'
 Some String: %s
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'NoneType' and 'str'
 }}}
 Not a big deal, but for any missing module, the error identifying
 the module doesn't print out.
 For example:
 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./ttvdb.py", line 765, in <module>
     ''') %  e
 TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for %: 'NoneType' and
 'ModuleNotFoundError'
 }}}
 I can make a patch if you want.
