New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu>: On Python list, 'jmfauth' reports
sys.version 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 09:01:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] ''.format.__doc__ S.format(*args, **kwargs) -> unicode
I do not have 2.7 loaded to verify this, but assuming this is accurate, 'unicode' should be 'string'. I presume this is from mistaken conversion of 3.1 'string' to 2.7 'unicode' when backporting the new string format system. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation keywords: easy messages: 111130 nosy: docs@python, tjreedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: str.__format__.__doc__ backport glitch versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9328> _______________________________________
