[issue22023] PyUnicode_FromFormat is broken on python 2

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

Here is a patch fixing %S and %R formats and supporting %li and %zi. It fixes also %S, %R and %V for non-ASCII characters.

PyUnicode_FromFormat() of Python 2 doesn't support width, precision and padding. For example, "%100i" does crash. For %S, %R and %V, the function decodes byte strings from ISO-8859-1 in Python 2, whereas it decodes from UTF-8 in Python 3.
