R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment:
The documentation is, in principle, wrong. The actual authority for the
"correct" implementation is PEP3101, which says the following:
The str.format() function will have
a minimalist parser which only attempts to figure out when it is
"done" with an identifier (by finding a '.' or a ']', or '}',
etc.).
Changing that specification would require a discussion on python-dev.
