Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
I wonder if this is subject to change. I find it odd that
>>> "{:g}".format(1e3)
'1000'
but one has to use % in
>>> "{:%Y}".format(datetime.now())
'2010'
It is also different from PEP 3101 recommendation:
"""
An example is the 'datetime' class,
whose format specifiers might look something like the
arguments to the strftime() function:
"Today is: {0:a b d H:M:S Y}".format(datetime.now())
"""
The above, however, should probably be
"Today is: {0:a} {0:b} {0:d} {0:H}:{0:M}:{0:S} {0:Y}".format(datetime.now())
