We could make % on a Unicode literal do something special much like we're doing for calls to unicode(...). Alternately we could make % try to invoke __unicode__ before __str__ - but that would sometimes be wrong. Probably not very often, it's hard to imagine someone defining __unicode__ and expecting __str__ to be returned with a significant difference.

Yeah, it is, thankfully. I doubt there's a ton of cases where it occurs, and I really hope there aren't any where the format string is in a variable - I think I'd just curl up and cry in that case. Unfortunately it's a weird situation - doctest expects a specific output, so I need to coax IronPython to output that to get the tests to pass. - Jeff _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@lists.ironpython.com http://lists.ironpython.com/listinfo.cgi/users-ironpython.com
