[Python-Dev] unicode inconsistency?

[Neil Schemenauer]

Perhaps this is more approprate for python-list but I looks like a
bug to me.  Example code:

    class A:
        def __str__(self):
            return u'\u1234'

    '%s' % u'\u1234' # this works
    '%s' % A() # this doesn't work

It will work if 'A' subclasses from 'unicode' but should not be
necessary, IMHO.  Any reason why this shouldn't be fixed?
