literal_eval has eval() semantics and not complex() constructor semantics. It accepts what eval() accepts just without arithmetic and unsafe features. For exmaple "(2 + 4j)" is perfectly fine even though the complex call only supports "2+4j" (no parentheses and whitespace). I commit the fix with the ValueError except Georg suggested.
