[issue11396] add format handler to bytes object

2011-03-04 Thread nestor

New submission from nestor nestornis...@gmail.com:

Many programs written for Python 2.x use simple string interpolation to create 
byte strings with specific layout, this is gone in 3.x. Is it possible to 
support the format method but maybe only supporting field names like '{}' 
'{1}{2}' '{name}' and not conversion and formatting for the bytes type?

Examples:

and the get_current_url function at this post:

There have been a number of discussions about this, but no concrete proposal. 
The last one I recall was to add a __bformat__ method, but I couldn't find the 
email trail just now.

See also issue 3982.

My search fu has failed me this time. This is indeed a duplicate of issue 3982. 
I think the issue is real and not going to go away, but finding a beautiful 
solution has been elusive so far.
