[Assuming you are talking about PyUnicode_FromFormatV] > %s is a string.
No. %s is a char*; C does not have a "string" type. The string behind the pointer should be UTF-8 encoded; other encodings are tolerated through the "replace" error handler. > %U is unicode? No. This is a PyObject* whose Python type is 'str' (i.e. an object for which PyUnicode_Check succeeds) > If so, then %s should only be used when it is certain the string in > question has no unicode in it? No. If you have a char*, use %s; using %U would crash.
