Format output string, right alignment
Try this approach using the newer str.format syntax:
line_new = '{:>12} {:>12} {:>12}'.format(word[0], word[1], word[2])And here's how to do it using the old % syntax (useful for older versions of Python that don't support str.format):
line_new = '%12s %12s %12s' % (word[0], word[1], word[2])
You can align it like that:
print('{:>8} {:>8} {:>8}'.format(*words))where > means "align to right" and 8 is the width for specific value.
And here is a proof:
>>> for line in [[1, 128, 1298039], [123388, 0, 2]]: print('{:>8} {:>8} {:>8}'.format(*line)) 1 128 1298039 123388 0 2Ps. *line means the line list will be unpacked, so .format(*line) works similarly to .format(line[0], line[1], line[2]) (assuming line is a list with only three elements).
It can be achieved by using rjust:
line_new = word[0].rjust(10) + word[1].rjust(10) + word[2].rjust(10)
