For simple uses for str.format(), this makes the typing easier. Hopfully this
will help in the adoption of str.format().
For example:
'The {} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue')
You can mix and matcth auto-numbering and named replacement fields:
'The {} is {color}'.format('sky', color='blue')
But you can't mix and match auto-numbering and specified numbering:
'The {0} is {}'.format('sky', 'blue')
ValueError: cannot switch from manual field specification to automatic field numbering
Will port to 3.1.
Highlights:
- Adding PyObject_Format.
- Adding string.Format class.
- Adding __format__ for str, unicode, int, long, float, datetime.
- Adding builtin format.
- Adding ''.format and u''.format.
- str/unicode fixups for formatters.
The files in Objects/stringlib that implement PEP 3101 (stringdefs.h,
unicodedefs.h, formatter.h, string_format.h) are identical in trunk
and py3k. Any changes from here on should be made to trunk, and
changes will propogate to py3k).

It would be good for people to review this especially carefully and verify
I don't have an off by one error and there is no other way to cause overflow.

code out of PyNumber_*() functions in the C API into the nb_* function.

Also don't use "from test.test_support import ...", but
"from test import test_support" in a few spots.

as possible. This increases code coverage in stringobject.c
from 83% to 86% and should help keep the string classes
in sync in the future. From SF patch #662807
