I saw there was a __format__ method but help(int.__format__) doesn’t provide any help.
I also know you’re not suppose to call a __method__ directly. When is this method called? Which is its argument?
It’s used for Py3k’s new string formatting scheme.
You can find more info here:
http://docs.python.org/whatsnew/2.6.html#pep-3101-advanced-string-formatting
You are right that it isn’t called directly. It’s called by
str.formator the newformatbuiltin.
