You loose the ability to align the field then. What about:
def __format__(self, align_spec, spec="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"):
return format(self.strftime(spec), align_spec)
with
def format(value, spec):
if "," in spec:
align_spec, custom_spec = spec.split(",",1)
return value.__format__(align_spec, custom_spec)
else:
return value.__format__(spec)
":,%Y-%m-%d" may be slightly more gross than ":%Y-%m-%d", but on the plus
side ":30" would mean the same thing across all types.
