Eric V. Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: I agree it's not the best error message. What's happening is that these types (list, tuple, etc.) do not implement __format__, so object.__format__ is used. It returns str(self). Then the resulting string is formatted with the given format_spec. Since str does not support the 'd' format type, the error you see is raised.
I'm open to suggestions on how to improve this, but I don't see how it's possible given what str.__format__ knows when it generates the error. ---------- assignee: -> eric.smith nosy: +eric.smith versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3 -Python 3.1 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13790> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
