Battery.py % error line 88. ValueError: unsupported format character '\' (0x5c) at index 18

1. build the package (0.3.5) (via aur in arch)
2. after I start batti, I get an python error
...
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/batti/Battery.py", line 88, in set_value
    tooltip = _("Battery Level: %s%\% \nApproximately %s remaining") %
(info._percentage, self._str_time(info._time))
    ValueError: unsupported format character '\' (0x5c) at index 18

I'm not a programmer so I could be wrong, but me thinks it's a typo on line
88 in Battery.py
should be '%s%%' instead of '%s%\%'

thanx for this great little app

You are right. It should be fixed in 0.3.6 now. 
Thank you very much for reporting. Glad to see somebody uses it ;)

you're welcome. it fits nice in my tint panel.
but hmmm, the new version contains the same sort of bug:
one '%' to many in line 88
%s%%% should be %s%%

thanx for the quick response

well I thought everything fixed itself last night, but the error is back again:

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/batti/Battery.py", line 88, in set_value
    tooltip = _("Battery Level: %s%%% \nApproximately %s remaining") %
(info._percentage, self._str_time(info._time))
ValueError: unsupported format character '
' (0xa) at index 21

You are right. Don't know how I could miss that. 
Battery Level: %s%%% 
should be
Battery Level: %s%%

Could you fix that locally, and post if works for you. I'll make a package for 
that then.
