Interesting. I think the behaviour of the Python implementation behaviour is actually more correct here: neither `int` nor `float` supports 'N', and I'm not seeing any indication in tests or documentation that 'N' should be supported. So is this a bug in libmpdec, or a missing feature in the Python implementation? (Either way, it's definitely a bug that the two aren't aligned.)
>>> format(123, 'n')
'123'
>>> format(123, 'N')
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: Unknown format code 'N' for object of type 'int'
