Petr Dlouhý added the comment: For anyone stuck on Python 2.x, here is an workaround (maybe it could find it's way to documentation also): def fix_grouping(bytestring): try: return unicode(bytestring) except UnicodeDecodeError: return bytestring.decode(utf-8)

[issue15276] unicode format does not really work in Python 2.x

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: I have a brief documentation patch in mind for this, but it relies on documentation issue 15952 being addressed first (e.g. to say that format(value) returns Unicode when format_spec is Unicode and that value.__format__() can return a string of type str). So

Martin v. Löwis added the comment: What do you think? [Even though I wasn't asked] I think we may need to close the issue as won't fix. Depending on the exact change propsosed, it may be that the return type for existing operations might change, which shouldn't be done in a bug fix release.

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: I can't yet reproduce on my system, but after looking at the code, I believe the following are closer to the cause: format(1, u'n') int.__format__(1, u'n') Incidentally, on my system, the following note in the docs is wrong: Note: format(value,

Eric V. Smith added the comment: The case with 1.__format__ is confusing the parser. It sees: floating point number 1. __format__ which is indeed a syntax error. Try: 1 .__format__(u'n') '1' or: (1).__format__(u'n') '1' --

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: The case with 1.__format__ is confusing the parser. Interesting, good catch! That error did seem unusual. The two modified forms do give the same result as int.__format__() (though the type still differs). --

Chris Jerdonek added the comment: I did some analysis of this issue. For starters, I could not reproduce this on Mac OS X 10.7.4. I iterated through all available locales, and the separator was ASCII in all cases. Instead, I was able to fake the issue by changing , to \xa0 in the following
