Once it is in everyone is hesitant to take it out for fear of
breaking someone's code that uses it (no matter how obscure).
Putting in new methods should be difficult and require lots
of review for that reason and so we don't have language bloat.

Hey all:

In Python 2.4 you can use rjust with the optional fill argument:
>>> '3'.rjust(3, '0')
'003'
In earlier versions you can define your own:
>>> def rjust(s, l, c):
... return ( c*l

Documentation == """
Flag Meaning
0 The conversion will be zero padded
Your first conversion works fine.
string1 = '32'
string2 = "%04s" % (string1)
print string2
' 32'
Notice that it returns a string with spaces padding the left side.
If you want to pad a number with 0's on the left you need to use
zfill()
'32'.zfill(4)
'0032'
Be sure to study up on string methods,

Actually in this case string2 is pad

This doesn't work. If I cast string1 as an int it works:
string1 = '32'
int2 = "%03d" % (int(string1))
print
12 matches
