STINNER Victor added the comment:
u'{0:c}'.format(256) calls 256.__format__('c') which returns a str (bytes)
object, so we must reject value outside range(0, 256). The real fix for this
issue is to upgrade to Python 3.
Attached patch works around the inital issue (u'{0:c}'.format(256)) by raising
OverflowError on int.__format__('c') if the value is not in range(0, 256).
