I don't understand why it works with "<", "=" or ">":

>>> "{0:\x00<6d}".format(123)
'123\x00\x00\x00'

But not without:

>>> "{0:\x006d}".format(123)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: Invalid format specifier

Compare it to:

>>> "{0:6d}".format(123)
'   123'
>>> "{0:06d}".format(123)
'000123'
