Using multiple arguments for string formatting in Python (e.g., '%s ... %s')

I have a string that looks like '%s in %s' and I want to know how to seperate the arguments so that they are two different %s. My mind coming from Java came up with this: 

'%s in %s' % unicode(self.author),  unicode(self.publication)

But this doesn't work so how does it look in Python?

For completeness, in python 3.6 f-string are introduced in PEP-498. These strings make it possible to

embed expressions inside string literals, using a minimal syntax.

That would mean that for your example you could also use:

f'{self.author} in {self.publication}'
