Eric Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment:
I'm working on a similar issue for int.__format__('c'). What's not clear to me
is why this doesn't work the same as chr(i). That is, shouldn't chr(i) ==
('%c' % i) hold for i in range(256)? And if that's so, why not just copy chr's
implementation:
if (x < 0 || x >= 256) {
PyErr_SetString(PyExc_ValueError,
"chr() arg not in range(256)");
return NULL;
}
s[0] = (char)x;
return PyString_FromStringAndSize(s, 1);
