The problem here is the spaces in the input string: newton:~ dickinsm$ python2.7 Python 2.7 (r27:82500, Jul 13 2010, 14:10:05) [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5659)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> complex("1.1+2.1j") (1.1+2.1j) The current behaviour is by design, so I'm changing to feature request. It may make sense to consider allowing whitespace around the central '+' or '-', though this would mildly complicate the parsing. I'd be +0 on this change.

(1.1+2.1j)

The current behaviour is by design, so I'm changing to feature request.  It may make sense to consider allowing whitespace around the central '+' or '-', though this would mildly complicate the parsing.
