How to pad a string to a fixed length with spaces in Python?
You can use the ljust method on strings.
>>> name = 'John'>>> name.ljust(15)'John 'Note that if the name is longer than 15 characters, ljust won't truncate it. If you want to end up with exactly 15 characters, you can slice the resulting string:
>>> name.ljust(15)[:15]
If you have python version 3.6 or higher you can use f strings
>>> string = "John">>> f"{string:<15}"'John 'Or if you'd like it to the left
>>> f"{string:>15}"' John'Centered
>>> f"{string:^15}"' John 'For more variations, feel free to check out the docs: https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-string-syntax
