Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: OK, the example of an empty format spec should be dropped. Let people figure it out ;-).
>>> format([], 'd') Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ValueError: Unknown format code 'd' for object of type 'str' One possibility is to give (str of) the object instead of the type: ValueError: Unknown format code 'd' for object '[]' The downside is a long message for long strings. It would need to be limited (as is done in test error reports). ---------- _______________________________________ 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
