New submission from Sven Marnach <s...@marnach.net>:
The documentation of PyNumber_ToBase() [1] states
When base is not 2, 8, 10, or 16, the format is 'x#num'
where x is the base.
In reality, the function does not accept any bases different
from 2, 8, 10, or 16, as can be seen in the source code of
_PyLong_Form() [2], which is called from PyNumber_ToBase() to
do the actual conversion.
The patch fixes the documentation.
