Say I have two lists a and b: a = [1,'boy','tree'] and b = ['mathematics','is','fun'].
How can I display this evenly spaced like below? (can someone please edit the below so that there is actually evenly spaced columns, as the editor is deleting the spacing)
1 boy tree
mathematics is funRelevant Python doc pages are: http://docs.python.org/library/string..., http://docs.python.org/library/stdtyp...
Update: if you're in the notebook, you can also use html.table:
html.table([[1,'boy','hi'],['mathematics','is','fun']])for _ in [a,b]: print '%-15s%-8s%-8s' % (_[0],_[1],_[2])
This isn't helpful for me because it right aligns the third column and creates variable space.
look up the python formatting options for strings: http://docs.python.org/library/string.html
