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(10000, u'n') >>> int.__format__(10000, u'n') Incidentally, on my system, the following note in the docs is wrong: "Note: format(value, format_spec) merely calls value.__format__(format_spec)." (from http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html?#format ) >>> format(10000, u'n') u'10000' >>> 10000.__format__(u'n') File "<stdin>", line 1 10000.__format__(u'n') ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax >>> int.__format__(10000, u'n') '10000' Observe also that format() and int.__format__() return different types. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15276> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
