Guido van Rossum <guido@python.org> added the comment:
It's straightforward if you consider the implementation of the
requirement that %% renders a single percent sign: the second % is
parsed just like any other formatting code (i, d, f, etc.) and the stuff
between the first % and the formatting code is treated completely uniformly.
