[issue40971] Documentation still mentions 'u' string formatting option

[Petr Viktorin]

Petr Viktorin  added the comment:

AFAICS, Python 3 suports '%u' for printf-style formatting:

Python 3.8.3 (default, May 29 2020, 00:00:00) 
[GCC 10.1.1 20200507 (Red Hat 10.1.1-1)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> '%u' % 6
'6'


What am I missing?

[issue40971] Documentation still mentions 'u' string formatting option

[Gordon P. Hemsley]

New submission from Gordon P. Hemsley :

https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#old-string-formatting still 
lists the 'u' string formatting option, described as "Obsolete type – it is 
identical to 'd'." and linking to PEP 237.

However, testing indicates that Python 3 does not support a 'u' option and my 
archaeology suggests that such support was removed in Python 2.4. It seems this 
has flown under the radar for quite some time.
