Hi Tom,
Not exactly, but we can get something close, by using the String
Formatting operators.
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/typesseq-strings.html
The example above might be written as:
######
code = "hi"
date = "0420"
descript = "a test of formatting"
amt = 3.14
balance = 2.71
text = """
%-5s %4s %-19s %5.2f %5.2f
""" % (code, date, descript, amt, balance)
print text
######
If you have more questions, please feel free to bring them to the group.
