STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment:

PyString_Format() uses a "goto unicode;" if a '%c' or '%s' argument is unicode. 
The unicode label converts the partial formatted result (byte string) to 
unicode, and use PyUnicode_Format() to finish to formatting.

I don't think that you can apply the same algorithm here (converts the partial 
result to unicode) because it requires to rewrite the format string: arguments 
can be used twice or more, and used in any order.

Example: "{0} {1}".format("bytes", u"unicode") => switch to unicode occurs at 
result="bytes ", format=" {1}", arguments=(u"unicode"). Converts "bytes " to 
unicode is easy, but the format have to be rewritten in " {0}" or something 
else.

Call trace of str.format(): do_string_format() -> build_string() -> 
output_markup() -> render_field(). The argument type is proceed in 
render_field().
