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
That code is trying to find an optimal solution where the columns may be of different width.
Good luck!

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.
