[docs] [issue21547] '!s' formatting documentation bug

21 May 2014


      Eric V. Smith added the comment:

I suggest using whatever language explains what "u'%s' %obj" does. It's the same behavior.
...
From the SO question, given:
class A(object):
    def __str__(self):
        return 'as str'

    def __unicode__(self):
        return u'as unicode'

Then:
...
...
...
'%s' % A()
'as str'
u'%s' % A()
u'as unicode'
and:
...
...
...
'{!s}'.format(A())
'as str'
u'{!s}'.format(A())
u'as unicode'
