Good call, but here's another case: >>> "%#o" % 0x1234 '011064' I don't see how to automatically convert the "%#o" spec, though of course there are ways of fudging it. The obvious conversion doesn't give the same value: >>> "{0:#o}".format(0x1234) '0o11064' I couldn't see a backward-compatibility mode for str.format generating just a leading "0" for octal alternative format (the C style) as opposed to "0o".
