PEP 3101: Advanced String Formatting. Note: the 2.6 description
mentions the format() method for both 8-bit and Unicode strings. In
3.0, only the str type (text strings with Unicode support) supports
this method; the bytes type does not. The plan is to eventually make
this the only API for string formatting, and to start deprecating the
% operator in Python 3.1.
Thanks!
