Hi~ alls recently, i focus on the module "cmd", and find some confused things-- the function named "columnize". Why we need a multiloop as "for nrows .. for col .. for row.." ?? i think we can make a easier method, for example, first, find out the maxlen str in list, and use its length as the standard size to format the list. Ok, maybe i ignore something, so please give me some hints. --- thanks tom

Thanks a lot for your reply! I've reservations, maybe code looks like: """ colwidth = max(map(len, list)) ncols = displaywidth/(colwidth+2)+1 nrows = size/ncols+1 for nrows for ncols texts = list[...] output texts """ is clear, and just waste some space of stdout. --- Best Regards tom ________________________________ 发件人: Guido van Rossum <guido@python.org> 收件人: Tom Zhou <pytom@yahoo.cn> 抄送: "python-ideas@python.org" <python-ideas@python.org> 发送日期: 2011年12月20日, 星期二, 上午 7:14 主题: Re: [Python-ideas] Columnize in module "cmd" That code is trying to find an optimal solution where the columns may be of different width.
