Attempting to download a file with a "%" as part of the name (eg. "test%sfile") , sftp.get fails with:

File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 328, in getMessage
    msg = msg % self.args
TypeError: not enough arguments for format string

This appears to be because of the logging in sftp.py:

    def _log(self, level, msg, *args):
        self.logger.log(level, msg, *args)

I'm able to work around it by escaping the "%" to "%%" before calling sftp.get .

There is no sftp module in the standard library.  Presumably you are talking about a 3rd party product and should report the bug to its developers.

If you are trying instead to report a bug in the logging module, please reopen the issue if you can provide a simple example of triggering the bug you believe exists.  (It is much more likely to be a bug in sftp.py).

You're absolutely right, it's from paramiko. Apologies.
