New submission from Joshua Landau:
In the docs for 2.x about the formatting syntax:
https://docs.python.org/2/library/string.html#format-string-syntax
it says
"Two conversion flags are currently supported: '!s' which calls str() on
the value, and '!r' which calls repr()."
but for unicode formatters, '!s' calls unicode() instead.
See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23773816/why-python-str-format-doesnt-call-str
for the question that found this.
