[issue9328] str.__format__.__doc__ backport glitch
New submission from Terry J. Reedy
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.

Although why all of the methods say "string" and not "str" isn't clear to me. Probably historical.
Indeed; we used "string" in the docs as an informal way to say what eventually became known as basestring. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at gmail.com> "A storm broke loose in my mind." --Albert Einstein
