How do I put things in a table in python
How do I make a table in python. I am doing this at school where I am not allowed any extra addons such as tabulate or texttable and pretty table so could you guide me on how to do this thank you it is for python 3.4 or python 3.5
Solution
This is based on @SOReadytoHelp's solution. I updated it to Python 3 and included an example.
def print_table(table):
col_width = [max(len(str(x)) for x in col) for col in zip(*table)]
for line in table:
print("| " + " | ".join("{:{}}".format(x, col_width[i])
for i, x in enumerate(line)) + " |")
table = [['/', 2, 3],
['a', '2a', '3a'],
['b', '2b', '3b']]
print_table(table)
which prints
| / | 2 | 3 |
| a | 2a | 3a |
| b | 2b | 3b |
