[Python-Dev] Issue #16153: PyUnicode_FromFormatV() must fail if the format string is invalid (original) (raw)

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a good reason why PyUnicode_FromFormatV() does not fail on invalid format string, but copies the format string as-if into the result?

I would like to change this to raise a ValueError instead. PyUnicode_FromFormatV() is used by PyErr_Format(), so PyErr_Format() may now fail with a ValueError if the format string is invalid.
