Eric, it looks like you wrote this comment: /* don't define FORMAT_LONG, FORMAT_FLOAT, and FORMAT_COMPLEX, since we can live with only the string versions of those. The builtin format() will convert them to unicode. */ in http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/19601d451d4c/Python/formatter_unicode.c It seems like the current issue may be a valid reason for introducing a unicode FORMAT_INT (i.e. not just for type-purity and PEP 3101 compliance, but to avoid an exception). What do you think?
