[New-bugs-announce] [issue22023] PyUnicode_FromFormat is broken on python 2

[Alex Gaynor]

New submission from Alex Gaynor:

http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/2.7/Objects/unicodeobject.c#l840

Specifically it calls "PyObject_Str", which will return a PyStringObject * (cast to a PyObject *), and then calls "PyUnicode_GET_SIZE", which is of course totally incorrect.

This code was originally back-ported from 3.0 -> 2.6, so I imagine no one caught the bug then.
