It's the string formatting operator. Read up on string formatting in Python.
format % values
Creates a string where format specifies a format and values are the values to be filled in.

It applies printf-like formatting to a string, so that you can substitute certain parts of a string with values of variables.
Example
# assuming numFiles is an int variable
print "Found %d files" % (numFiles, )

The '%' operator is used for string interpolation. Since Python 2.6 the String method "format" is used insted. For details see http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3101/

Note that starting from Python 2.6, it's recommended to use the new str.format() method:
>>> "The sum of 1 + 2 is 0".format(1+2)
'The sum of 1 + 2 is 3'
If you are using 2.6, you may want to keep using % in order to remain compatible with older versions, but in Python 3 there's no reason not to use str.format().
