Right alignment error in print()

I am trying to right align the numerical values which I get from print, but I am getting an error:

'float' object has no attribute 'rjust'

Here is my code where I am trying to use it at. How should I go about right aligning all the numerical values I get with print:

enterValue = float(input("The input value is: "))

# We know that the circumference of a circle is 2*pi*r.
CircumferenceV = (2*math.pi*enterValue)
print("The Circumference is : %0.2f" %(circleCircumference.rjust(10)))

You're applying rjust on a float when it is defined for str objects. An alternative is to right align with the :fill.precision notation on format:

>>> print("{:10.2f}".format(3.142059))
       3.14

Applied on circleCircumference :

print("The Circumference is : {:10.2f}".format(circleCircumference))

Using only % one can do the same thing with:

>>> circleCircumference = 3.29920
>>> "Circle circumfence: %10.2f" % circleCircumference
'Circle circumfence:        3.30'

If you'd only like 2 decimal places, you can use the same answer that Jim suggested but modify it slightly.

print("The Circumference is : {:>10.2f}".format(circleCircumference))

This tell the print statement to print circleCircumference to 2 places as a float, while right justifying it in a 10 character column.
