I've changed the default alignment for Decimal instances to right-aligned
(so that it agrees with floats and ints) in r74723 (trunk), r74725 (py3k),
as agreed in the python-dev thread starting at:

Thanks for the decimal work, Mark. I notice that complex is also left
aligned, by default. I'll take a look at that.

The default alignment should be 'left-aligned'.

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
Eric Smith e...@trueblade.com added the comment:
That is interesting. I'd agree that it's a bug in the PEP. Note that
%-formatting right aligns floats by default:
'%7.0g' % 0.12345
'0.1'
I'll raise the issue on python-dev.
Eric.
