String replacement using modulo in Python for raw_input?

Question

Is it possible to produce the following somehow?

name = raw_input("Enter name: ")
age = raw_input("Hello %s, please enter your age") %name

I know I can substitute a + to concatenate the strings, but I was curious if this would work somehow.

when if ask you for input -- then just enter `%s` – Grijesh Chauhan Apr 21 '14 at 14:42 — Grijesh Chauhan, Apr 21 '14 at 14:42

Just put the variable inside parentheses

age = raw_input("Hello %s, please enter your age" % name)

You should do it using the newer python string formatting:

age = raw_input("Hello {0}, please enter your age".format(name))

@user3556942, Nope. Python2 as well. And __really__ useful in some cases. Your choice :) – sshashank124 Apr 21 '14 at 14:45
