I was assuming that most modern systems have a sprintf function
available. If this is not the case, my argument is indeed void.

I was extrapolating from the fact that it's available on the
systems I work on (linux, sunos, solaris).

Yes, but it would by possible to use snprintf in PyErr_Format.

+1 on the patch. We cannot neglect Windows (unfortunately<wink>).
