I don't think it's possible for int (PyLong) to handle a decision to format itself as a string. Personally, I'd like this:
>>> format(3, 's')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Unknown format code 's' for object of type 'int'
To continue to be an error.
This is exactly why the __format__ protocol was added: so a type could make a decision on how it should format itself. My only concern is the fragility of the proposed solution. |
