It works that way intentionally. The RioFormatter hooks is specifically
for that - the RioFormatter.

I don't think this is a bug but rather a wishlist item; the fix is
either to have both use the same hook (and rename that hook to not be
specific to Rio) or to add a different hook for the python formatter.

I'm not convinced they should be using the same values. It might make
more sense to generate proper Python values for the python formatter
rather than plain strings as are used for the rio formatter.
