I'm attaching v2 of my proposed patch. This one is quite a bit better, IMHO. - Introduce __ascii__ as a special method, like __str__ but required to exist only if an ASCII-only format exists. - Extract PyString_Format from Python 2.7 and update it for PyBytes. - %c only accepts integers, not single character strs, maybe should accept length one byte objects. - add %a, should be useful for debugging - %s calls __bytes__ or __ascii__, otherwise gives a TypeError, should eventually support buffer API - number formats work as they do in Python 2.
