[issue7343] "What's new in 3.0" says % operator will be deprecated in 3.1

New submission from Jared Grubb <python [at] jaredgrubb>:

The existing text:

http://www.python.org/doc/3.0/whatsnew/3.0.html
"A new system for built-in string formatting operations replaces the %
string formatting operator. (However, the % operator is still supported;
it will be deprecated in Python 3.1 and removed from the language at
some later time.) Read PEP 3101 for the full scoop."

Python 3.1 did not deprecate the % operator, right? Is it appropriate to
edit the 3.0 docs to reflect that?

Brett Cannon <brett [at] python> added the comment:

The % operator has not been deprecated, although talk of removing it
flares up from time to time. We are still encouraging people to use the
new str.format().

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger [at] users> added the comment:

Fixed in r76372:

* :ref:`pep-3101`. Note: the 2.6 description mentions the
:meth:`format` method for both 8-bit and Unicode strings. In 3.0,
only the :class:`str` type (text strings with Unicode support)
supports this method; the :class:`bytes` type does not. The plan is
to make this the preferred API for string formatting and to
de-emphasize the ``%`` string formatting operator.
