all Python 3Byte sequencesfunction

bytes.rjust

bytes — padding

Right-justify in a field of the given width.

Syntax

b.rjust(...)

For signed numbers the result differs from zfill: rjust with a zero fill puts the zeros before the minus, while zfill inserts them after the sign. Like ljust it never truncates — if the value is already at least as long as width it is returned unchanged — and the fill must be exactly one byte.

Examples

print(b'hi'.rjust(5, b'.'))   # → b'...hi'
print(b'7'.rjust(3))   # → b'  7'
print(b'42'.rjust(5, b'0'))   # → b'00042'
print(b'hello'.rjust(3, b'.'))   # → b'hello'
print(b'hi'.ljust(5, b'.'))   # → b'hi...'
print(b'hi'.rjust(5, b'..'))   # → TypeError
