This is by design, and documented under the "sign" section here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-specification-mini-language The space before ".2f" is an instruction to leave space for a sign, "-" for a negative number and " " for a positive number. To avoid that space, use a format of ".2f" instead of " .2f". >>> format(15, ".2f") '15.00' >>> format(15, " .2f") ' 15.00' >>> format(15, "+.2f") '+15.00' ---------- nosy: +mark.dickinson _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43932> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
