title: printing format string function and variable (python)
body: <p>definition of function &amp; variable:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def secret_formula(started):
      jelly_beans = started * 500
      jars = jelly_beans / 1000
      crates = jars / 100
      return jelly_beans, jars, crates
  
  start_point = 10000 / 10
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>print statement:</p>
  
  <pre><code>print """crazy different style:
  startpoint: %d\n
  beans:\t\t %d\n
  jars:\t\t %d\n
  crates:\t\t %d\n
  """ % (start_point, (secret_formula(start_point)))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The error message I get is " %d format: a number is required, not a tuple.
  Please help me fix it. I´m really new to programming...or is it just not possible to pack a variable and a called function into the same formattet print?</p>
