You're right and that surprises me as well. > As noted above, ``%s`` is being included solely to help ease migration from, and/or have a single code base with, Python 2.

That's a stupid name... REPL has had a precise meaning (Read-Eval-Print-Loop) for the last 50 years, and I don't know how one can choose to give that name to a project.
