Leading '1's instead of leading '0's in Python

Question

Instead of 007, I wish to print 117, using string formatting.

But instead, it adds 12 empty characters before the 7. Tried using a variable too, in place of the 1. No luck. Please help.

Code:

num=7 print(f'{num:03d}') print(f'{num:13d}') val=1 print(f'{num:{val}3d}')

This works:

num=7 print(f'{num:03d}') print(f'{num:13d}') print(f'{num:1>3d}') val=1 print(f'{num:{val}>3d}')

output

007 7 117 117
