Chris Jerdonek added the comment: See this code comment:
/* don't define FORMAT_LONG, FORMAT_FLOAT, and FORMAT_COMPLEX, since we can live with only the string versions of those. The builtin format() will convert them to unicode. */ from http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/19601d451d4c/Python/formatter_unicode.c In other words, it was deliberate not to make value.__format__(format_spec) return unicode when format_spec is unicode. So the docs should be adjusted to say that they are not always the same. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15952> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
