New submission from Dmitry Kazakov <waul...@gmail.com>:
A few of the methods of collections.UserString return objects of type str when
one would expect instances of UserString or a subclass. Here's an example for
UserString.join:
>>> s = UserString(', ').join(['a', 'b', 'c']); print(repr(s), type(s))
'a, b, c' <class 'str'>
This *looks* like a bug to me, but since I was unable to find similar bug
reports, and this behaviour has existed for years, I'm not too sure.
Same holds for UserString.format and UserString.format_map, which were added
recently (issue 22189):
>>> s = UserString('{}').format(1); print(repr(s), type(s))
'1' <class 'str'>
At least, this output is inconsistent with %-based formatting:
>>> s = UserString('%d') % 1; print(repr(s), type(s))
'1' <class 'collections.UserString'>
