Left-pad for Python (how could we have lived all this time without it?)

pypi.python.org

Other implementation, for the curious:

    '{:+>5}'.format('abc')

This makes more sense. String formatting already has it's own specific function, it doesn't really require a module.

It's a joke to the JS community.
