Attached is a somewhat complete implementation of PEP 3101 (string.format) for Jython 2.6 which passes a certain number of the tests in the standard library testsuite. :)

Stuff that's still missing:
 - implement __format__ for floats
 - implement 'n' formatting type for integers
 - implement __format__ for datetime
 - limit recursion level for recursive format specs
 - implement remaining checks for error conditions
 - check str/unicode difference
 - handle classes inherited from int/long/string/float overriding __format__
 - anything else I haven't figured out yet :)
