Hmm. PEP 3101 does indeed say that left-aligned is the default, but it's a bit of a strange default for numeric types. I'd expect integers (at least) to be right-aligned by default. I'd be inclined to say that the current float formatting is correct, and that it's the Decimal formatting that's wrong.
