New submission from Jim Jewett <[email protected]>:
http://docs.python.org/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language
defines
fill ::= <a character other than '}'>
and the text also excludes '{'. It does not require that the fill character be
ASCII.
However, function parse_internal_render_format_spec
http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/c2153ce1b5dd/Python/formatter_unicode.c#l277
raises a ValueError if fill_char > 127.
I'm honestly not certain which of the three is correct, but they should be
consistent, and if anything but '{' is excluded, it would be best to explain
why.
