%s seems the trickiest: I think with a bytes argument it should just insert those bytes (and the padding modifiers should work too), and for other types it should probably work like %a, so that it works as expected for numeric values, and with a string argument it will return the ascii()-variant of its repr(). Examples: b'%s' % 42 == b'42' b'%s' % 'x' == b"'x'" (i.e. the three-byte string containing an 'x' enclosed in single quotes)
I'm not sure about the quotes. Would anyone ever actually want those in the byte stream? -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
