On Python list, 'jmfauth' reports >>> >>> sys.version 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul 4 2010, 09:01:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] >>> >>> ''.format.__doc__ S.format(*args, **kwargs) -> unicode I do not have 2.7 loaded to verify this, but assuming this is accurate, 'unicode' should be 'string'. I presume this is from mistaken conversion of 3.1 'string' to 2.7 'unicode' when backporting the new string format system. |

Yes, that is what it says; and yes, it should be "string". Although why all of the methods say "string" and not "str" isn't clear to me. Probably historical. The doc string for str.__format__ contains the same error. |

And now that I look at it, the subject contains "__format__" but the original message says "format". Both cases are already covered! |
