Your example on page http://docs.python.org/tutorial/inputoutput.html is outdated and won't work in Python 2.7:

Basic usage of the str.format() method looks like this:

>>> print 'We are the {} who say "{}!"'.format('knights', 'Ni')
We are the knights who say "Ni!"

Now, all brackets have to have a numeric or keyword argument.

Works as advertised for me. Unless more information is added, it looks like an invalid issue.

This feature was added in 2.7 (and 3.1, I think). If the numeric indices are not specified, they take the args in order.

Yes, apologies (I was using 2.6).
