.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyErr_Format(PyObject *exception, const char *format, ...)
This function sets the error indicator and returns *NULL*. *exception* should be
a Python exception (class, not an instance). *format* should be a string,
containing format codes, similar to :cfunc:`printf`. The ``width.precision``
before a format code is parsed, but the width part is ignored.
.. % This should be exactly the same as the table in PyString_FromFormat.
.. % One should just refer to the other.
.. % The descriptions for %zd and %zu are wrong, but the truth is complicated
.. % because not all compilers support the %z width modifier -- we fake it
.. % when necessary via interpolating PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T.

| Format Characters | Type | Comment |
+===================+===============+================================+
| :attr:`%%` | *n/a* | The literal % character. |
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| :attr:`%c` | int | A single character, |
| | | represented as an C int. |
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| :attr:`%d` | int | Exactly equivalent to |
| | | ``printf("%d")``. |
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| :attr:`%u` | unsigned int | Exactly equivalent to |
| | | ``printf("%u")``. |
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| :attr:`%ld` | long | Exactly equivalent to |
| | | ``printf("%ld")``. |
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| :attr:`%lu` | unsigned long | Exactly equivalent to |
| | | ``printf("%lu")``. |
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| :attr:`%zd` | Py_ssize_t | Exactly equivalent to |
| | | ``printf("%zd")``. |
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| :attr:`%zu` | size_t | Exactly equivalent to |
| | | ``printf("%zu")``. |
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| :attr:`%i` | int | Exactly equivalent to |
| | | ``printf("%i")``. |
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| :attr:`%x` | int | Exactly equivalent to |
| | | ``printf("%x")``. |
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| :attr:`%s` | char\* | A null-terminated C character |
| | | array. |
+-------------------+---------------+--------------------------------+
| :attr:`%p` | void\* | The hex representation of a C |
| | | pointer. Mostly equivalent to |
| | | ``printf("%p")`` except that |
| | | it is guaranteed to start with |
| | | the literal ``0x`` regardless |
| | | of what the platform's |
| | | ``printf`` yields. |

An unrecognized format character causes all the rest of the format string to be
copied as-is to the result string, and any extra arguments discarded.
This function sets the error indicator and returns *NULL*. *exception*
should be a Python exception class. The *format* and subsequent
parameters help format the error message; they have the same meaning and
values as in :cfunc:`PyUnicode_FromFormat`.
