[New-bugs-announce] [issue8931] '#' has no affect with 'c' type

[Benjamin Peterson]

New submission from Benjamin Peterson <benjamin at python.org>:

$ python3
Python 3.1.2 (release31-maint, May  3 2010, 22:18:46)
[GCC 4.3.4] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> format(ord("a"), "c")
'a'
>>> format(ord("a"), "#c")
'a'

I wonder if '#' with 'c' should raise an exception.
