This really is a feature request -- in Python 2.x there is no formatting code for complex numbers at all, and "%.5s" % complex(...) does the same thing. I agree it would be neat to have control over complex numbers using the same formatting language used for floats; but I note that it's easy enough to do this manually, e.g. >>> "{0.real:.5}+{0.imag:.5}j".format(z) '1+0.66667j'
