Untested, but I think you could do this with just python builtin types:
from pylab import *
pp=plot([0,0],[1,1])
text(xlim()[0],1,'string'.ljust(10,' '))
text(xlim()[1],1,'string'.rjust(10,' '))
See the documention:
http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html
str.ljust(width[, fillchar])ΒΆ
Return the string left justified in a string of length width. Padding is
done using the specified fillchar (default is a space). The original string
is returned if width is less than len(s).
Changed in version 2.4: Support for the fillchar argument.
