It shares code with %-formatting. Change that, too? I couldn't find any occurrences of %F in the stdlib. Not that that's the entire universe, of course.

The change is slightly less elegant if I don't change %-formatting, but still doable, especially if the betas don't get cut today. Fine with me to change %F as well -- after all that's where the misunderstanding comes from. (More and more I'm beginning to think it was my mistake. :-)

I added this as http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-July/081242.html

I should be able to get it checked in today.
