For more information on format specifiers, an excellent reference book is C: A Reference Manual, by Harbison and Steele. Now in its fifth edition, this has been a standard since it first appeared. While not about Python, it does contain important material related to Python, as several ideas, such as the format specifiers, were lifted directly from C. It also contains hints on how to write a program to demonstrate all combinations of all character codes and all the flags that go with them.
