[New-bugs-announce] [issue7988] complex.__format__ has incorrect default alignment

[Eric Smith]

New submission from Eric Smith <eric at trueblade.com>:

Complex uses left alignment by default, but should use right alignment like the other numeric types.

>>> format(1+1j, '20.0')
'(1+1j)              '

>>> format(1.0, '20.0')
'               1e+00'

>>> format(1, '20')
'                   1'
