Your comment is equivalent to this:

>>> complex(1+2.0j)
(1+2j)
>>> complex(0+0.0j)
0j

Both, the constructor and the docstring, are not so clean.

What to say about the __repr__ ? Are not a and b
supposed to be floats? (elements of R)

>>> 0
0
>>> 0.0
0.0
>>> 0j
0j
>>> 1.0 + 2.0j
(1+2j)
>>> 1.
1.0
>>> 1
1
>>> (1 + 2.0j).real
1.0
>>> type((1 + 2.0j).real)
<class 'float'>
