[issue4286] Discrepancy in format string documentation

[dlfjessup]

New submission from dlfjessup <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

In the documentation for Format Strings
(http://docs.python.org/dev/3.0/library/string.html#formatstrings), the
grammar has the following rule:

> conversion::=  "r" | "s"

However, the documentation later reads:

> Three conversion flags are currently supported: '!s' which calls str()
on the value, '!r' which calls repr() and '!a' which calls ascii().

This implies that the correct rule for the grammar is:

> conversion::=  "a" | "r" | "s"

[issue5126] Space character returns false from isprintable() method

[dlfjessup]

New submission from dlfjessup :

I am running IDLE on Windows XP.  The version information when IDLE
boots is:

Python 3.0 (r30:67507, Dec  3 2008, 20:14:27) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32

I ran the following test case:

>>> ' '.isprintable()
False

However, according to
http://docs.python.org/3.0/library/stdtypes.htm#str.isprintable, "...the
ASCII space (0x20) ... is considered printable."

This seems pretty broken to me.
