It uses a static helper function instance_getattr(), which while it
looks like what I want, I can't get to.
So I've come up with the following. I haven't checked for leaks yet,
but at least it appears to do what I want, for both classic and
new-style classes. I'm still porting over test cases from 3.0, so I'm
not convinced this is correct, yet.
/* Check for a __format__ method. */
meth = PyObject_GetAttr(value, str__format__);
if (meth)
result = PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(meth, spec, NULL);
else {
meth = _PyType_Lookup(Py_TYPE(value), str__format__);
if (meth)
result = PyObject_CallFunctionObjArgs(meth, value, spec, NULL);
else {
PyErr_Format(PyExc_TypeError,
"Type %.100s doesn't define __format__",
Py_TYPE(value)->tp_name);
goto done;
}
}
