I think this falls in to the consenting adults category. You can also do things like: >>> format(42, '->3') '-42' But why bother preventing this? It is unfortunate that %-formatting and .__format__() are different in this regard, but at this point I wouldn't recommend making any changes. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35546> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
