The '0' fill character is forcing '=' alignment (per the PEP). This looks like a bug to me, since it should use the specified alignment. This is not a float-only problem, it applies to the other built-in types as well: >>> format(2, '0<20') '00000000000000000002' >>> format(2, '1<20') '21111111111111111111' There are too many distinct issues combined here, I'll create a new issue just for this bug.

>>> format(2, '0<20')
'00000000000000000002'
>>> format(2, '1<20')
'21111111111111111111'
