If you are doing so many times, it may be worth precomputing the padding for a given length and adding it by a look up on the length.
For example: ------------------------ SPACE = ' ' MAX = 1000 TAB = 8 paddding = [ SPACE * (n % TAB) for n in range(MAX) ] ..... s = padding[len(s)] + s ..... -------------------------- where s is string to be padded Asokan Pichai If a language is designed for non-programmers, soon only non-programs get written in it. --- Anonymouse _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
