In the documentation for Format Strings (http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/library/string.html#formatstrings), the grammar has the following rule: > conversion ::= "r" | "s" However, the documentation later reads: > Three conversion flags are currently supported: '!s' which calls str() on the value, '!r' which calls repr() and '!a' which calls ascii(). This implies that the correct rule for the grammar is: > conversion ::= "a"	"r"	"s"
