But int has its own __format__ method, so this does not apply. Per the title of this issue, this only refers to object.__format__.
For example:
This works now, and will continue working:
>>> format(2, '1')
'2'
This is currently an error, and will remain an error:
>>> class C: pass
...
>>> format(C(), '1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: non-empty format string passed to object.__format__
It's this case that is currently an error, but it need not be:
>>> format(object(), '1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: non-empty format string passed to object.__format__
The more I think about it, the more I think it would be too confusing to make object.__format__ behave differently if self is of type object, versus another type. So I'll probably just close this as fixed unless someone feels strongly about it. |
