http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/stdtypes.html#str.ljust str.ljust(width[, fillchar])¶ Return the string left justified in a string of length width. Padding is done using the specified fillchar (default is a space). The original string is returned if width is less than len(s). str.rjust(width[, fillchar])¶ Return the string right justified in a string of length width. Padding is done using the specified fillchar (default is a space). The original string is returned if width is less than len(s). "less than len(s)" -> "less than or equal to len(s)"

The short doc strings do not mention the issue either way. I think it ok to leave them as they are. While the claim is how the functions *should* operate, I verified that it is how they *do* operate in all three branches.
