[Python-Dev] unicode inconsistency? (original) (raw)

Perhaps this is more approprate for python-list but I looks like a bug to me. Example code:

class A:
    def __str__(self):
        return u'\u1234'

'%s' % u'\u1234' # this works
'%s' % A() # this doesn't work

It will work if 'A' subclasses from 'unicode' but should not be necessary, IMHO. Any reason why this shouldn't be fixed?
