.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyErr_Format(PyObject *exception, const char *format, ...)
- This function sets the error indicator and returns *NULL*. *exception* should be
- a Python exception (class, not an instance). *format* should be a string,
- containing format codes, similar to :cfunc:`printf`. The ``width.precision``
- before a format code is parsed, but the width part is ignored.

- .. % This should be exactly the same as the table in PyString_FromFormat.
- .. % One should just refer to the other.
- .. % The descriptions for %zd and %zu are wrong, but the truth is complicated
- .. % because not all compilers support the %z width modifier -- we fake it
- .. % when necessary via interpolating PY_FORMAT_SIZE_T.

- An unrecognized format character causes all the rest of the format string to be
- copied as-is to the result string, and any extra arguments discarded.
+ This function sets the error indicator and returns *NULL*. *exception*
+ should be a Python exception class. The *format* and subsequent
+ parameters help format the error message; they have the same meaning and
+ values as in :cfunc:`PyUnicode_FromFormat`.
