Space is one of the flags. From the docs:
The conversion flag characters are:
Flag Meaning
# The value conversion will use the ``alternate form'' (where defined
below).
0 The conversion will be zero padded for numeric values.
- The converted value is left adjusted (overrides the "0" conversion if
both are given).
(a space) A blank should be left before a positive number (or empty
string) produced by a signed conversion.
+ A sign character ("+" or "-") will precede the conversion (overrides a
"space" flag).
