I wonder if this is subject to change. I find it odd that >>> "{:g}".format(1e3) '1000' but one has to use % in >>> "{:%Y}".format(datetime.now()) '2010' It is also different from PEP 3101 recommendation: """ An example is the 'datetime' class, whose format specifiers might look something like the arguments to the strftime() function: "Today is: {0:a b d H:M:S Y}".format(datetime.now()) """ The above, however, should probably be "Today is: {0:a} {0:b} {0:d} {0:H}:{0:M}:{0:S} {0:Y}".format(datetime.now())

but one has to use % in
>>> "{:%Y}".format(datetime.now())
'2010'
It is also different from PEP 3101 recommendation:
"""
 An example is the 'datetime' class,
 whose format specifiers might look something like the
 arguments to the strftime() function:
 "Today is: {0:a b d H:M:S Y}".format(datetime.now())
"""
The above, however, should probably be
"Today is: {0:a} {0:b} {0:d} {0:H}:{0:M}:{0:S} {0:Y}".format(datetime.now())
