The issue of changing the complex repr came up again in #41485, which has been closed as a duplicate of this issue. See also https://bugs.python.org/issue23229#msg233963, where Guido says: > BTW I don't want repr() of a complex number to use the complex(..., ...) notation -- it's too verbose. FWIW, I'd be +1 on changing the complex repr, but given Guido's opposition we're probably looking at a PEP to make that happen, and I don't have the bandwidth or the energy to push such a PEP through.
