I have some data that comes out of a database as a list of tuples of integers and strings, one tuple for each row in the ResultProxy from the select operation. The data looks something like this:
[(56, 12, 8, u'2012-02', 10, 12, u'Guangxi Province', u'Guangxi', u'10', 8, u'TOT'), (57, 21, 1, u'2012-03', 36, 21, u'Sichuan EQ Region', u'Sichuan', u'2', 1, u'Basic Medical - Rural')] I would like to display some of the items in the tuples in columnar format with each column lining up on the left side (below should be three neat columns with location, training type, number trained and date): Guangxi Province TOT 10 2012-02 Sichuan EQ Region Basic Medical - Rural 36 2012-03 Surely there is a python module that helps with that, isn't there? I know I could write a function that reads the items, figures string lengths, adds padding white space and prints out the columns but am hoping there is a more elegant solution. I am not against reading documentation, just can't find the right module to read about. thomas _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
