Right-Justifying Numeric Output

I have this print statement in a function:

print '%2d $%11.2f $%10.2f $%9.2f $%9.2f' %(nper, pv, diff, ten, bonus)

and I would like to have the output right justified in the specified field.
My trials using .rjust(n) have produced that string in the output, not the
intended results. Is there a way of right justifying numeric output?

Thanks,

Rich

Thank you very much! I didn't see this in any of my Python books or on the
Web.
