[New-bugs-announce] [issue40269] Inconsistent complex behavior with (-1j)

[Rushil Udani]

New submission from Rushil Udani <rushil.udani at gmail.com>:

In a Python REPL:

>>> -1j
(-0-1j)
>>> (-1j)
(-0-1j)
>>> 0-1j
-1j
>>> -0-1j
-1j

This is clearly inconsistent behavior! -1j and (-1j) should report as -1j, as the other two do.
