Also, as a feedback, I found it a bit odd that there can't be any space nor

FWIW, that is the case for normal format strings, as well:

print("{!r\n}".format(12))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: expected ':' after conversion specifier

I guess the behaviour is simply inherited from there.

Right. That and the fact that whitespace is significant inside the format specifier portion:

>>> '{:%H:%M:%S\n}'.format(datetime.datetime.now())
'17:14:10\n'

I don't think it's worth changing this to allow whitespace after the optional one-character conversion flag.
