literal_eval() is not purposed to evaluate arbitrary arithmetic expressions. It is only purposed to handle strings produced by repr() of some simple builtin objects. repr(6j+3) is '(3+6j)', not '(6j+3)' and not '(6j--3)', so it accepts the former form and not the latters.

If Nick no longer works on this I propose to close this issue. literal_eval() supports now more types of expressions, but it is more strict in other cases. I have doubts that any test changes are applicable to the current code.
