IMHO, either the translation is done once and gives identical output or

I disagree. I doubt even 0.001% of all format strings involve octal
formatting. Is it really worth not providing a transition path if it can't
cover this case?
It's also really easy to just write 0{:o} like my translator does.
I apologize for not having looked at anyone's implementation yet. But I
suspect you'll have a problem with this case unless int.__format__ has
special logic for backward compatible octal formatting:
>>> '%# 5o' % 8
' 010'
