format spec %b is documented but does not work

[ichabod801]

it's on page 96 of the PDF edition of The Python Library Reference Release 3.5.2. that's page 108 as the PDF reader in firefox counts pages. see the first row of the second table.

That document is not available online. I rechecked the 3.5.3 documentation (https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/stdt...formatting), and again, there is no 'b' in the table. Are you sure you are referencing the printf style formatting section and not the format method style formatting?
