Then, the following points must be decided to define the complete list of supported features (formatters):
* Format integer to hexadecimal?
%xand%X* Format integer to octal?%o* Format integer to binary?{!b}* Alignment? * Truncating? Truncate or raise an error? Not desirable IMHO. bytes formatting should serve mainly for templating situations (i.e. catenate and insert bytestrings into one another). We cannot start giving text-like semantics to bytes objects without confusing non-experts. But having at least some of struct's formatting options available on bytes.format or bytes % would be useful.
Perhaps, but the PEP's stated goal is to make porting between 2.x and 3.5 easier. Add struct formatting to 3.5 wouldn't help.
