I don't believe so - the string formatting documentation states that the
result will be unicode if either the format string is unicode or any of the
objects passed to a %s format code is unicode.
That latter part has just been extended to include any object that returns
Unicode from __str__, instead of being restricted to actual Unicode instances.
Note that the following behaves the same way regardless of whether you use 2.4
or 2.5:
"%s" % 'hi'
"%s" % u'hi'
And once the result has been promoted to unicode, __unicode__ is used directly:
>>> print repr("%s%s" % (a(), a()))
__str__
accessing <__main__.a object at 0x00AF66F0>.__unicode__
__str__
accessing <__main__.a object at 0x00AF6390>.__unicode__
__str__
u'hihi'
Cheers,
Nick.
