complex() bug or feature?

[Carsten Gaebler]

Hi there,

is this the way complex() is supposed to work?

Python 2.2b1 (#2, Oct 22 2001, 10:47:30) 
[GCC 2.95.2 20000220 (Debian GNU/Linux)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> complex('1', '1')
(1+0j)
>>> 

If complex() allows stings as arguments (like float()), what's
happened to the imaginary part?

Regards
Carsten.
