[New-bugs-announce] [issue1168] complex arithmetic: strange results with "imag"

[Nusret BALCI]

New submission from Nusret BALCI:

"imag" returns incorrect results if invoked on a literal number.
Looks like a bug.

>>> 1-2j
(1-2j)
>>> 1-2j.real
1.0
>>> 1-2j.imag
-1.0
>>> 1-4j.imag
-3.0
>>> (1-4j).imag
-4.0
>>>
