[Tutor] How to print complex numbers without enclosing parentheses

[Stephen McInerney]

Why does the complex.__str__() method on complex numbers add the enclosing parentheses?
It's unwanted, and it also makes them look like a tuple (other than the trailing comma).
How can I get rid of it, other than the clunky:
 
>>> print d(0.80-0.58j)>>> print repr(d)[1:-1]0.80-0.58j
 
How can I change complex.__str__() ?
 
Thanks,
Stephen
