New submission from STINNER Victor victor.stin...@haypocalc.com:
U and U# formats were introduced by r55433 (Python3). At this same, s and
U formats were different: s called PyString_FromStringAndSize() and U
called PyUnicode_FromStringAndSize(). Two months later,
PyString_FromStringAndSize() was replaced by PyUnicode_FromStringAndSize() for
format s, and so both formats are exactly the same.
U and U# were introduced during the transition between bytes, str and
unicode. They can now be replaced by s and s#, and then be removed.
There is just one usage of U: definition of sys.subversion
(Python/sysmodule.c), whereas there are 36 usages of s format. (U# and s# are
not used.)
