Did you see my explanation, which I wrote in response to one of your earlier posts, of why I think "the parsing of the format string itself assumes ASCII compatible data" that statement is confused and wrong? The above seems to say that what I wrote is impossible, but perhaps I misunderstand what Guido and you mean. Among my questions are "by data, do you mean interpolated objects or interpolated bytes?" and "what restriction on 'data' do you intend by 'ASCII compatible'?".
