Eric V. Smith added the comment:
I believe the conversion is happening in Objects/abstract.c in PyObject_Format,
around line 864, near this comment:
/* Convert to unicode, if needed. Required if spec is unicode
and result is str */
I think changing the docs will result in more confusion than clarity, but if
you can come up with some good wording, I'd be okay with it. I think changing
the code will likely break things with little or no benefit.
