'%u' % u'\u1234' '%u' % A() That's the intent, yes. Neil's original example would also "work" then (because unlike PyObjectStr(), PyObjectUnicode() is happy to accept a unicode result as-is from a tpstr implementation). No, it would not "work" the way I want. I don't want to force things to unicode strings unless necessary.
Unicode always causes coercion towards Unicode, just like floats always cause coercion towards floats. Nothing's going to change at that end.
Note that your examples do work with %s if the format string itself is Unicode, so in P3k, you'll no longer have these problems.
Since there must be a reason why you have a str method that returns Unicode, I'd suggest you make the format string itself a Unicode string as well :-)
