Ok, perhaps a question on a newbie level.
I try to create a simple 'write to a console application' where all the items in a string
do have a variable size:
items = ["a", "bbbbbbbbb", "cc"]
Well, actually, I need to print a table as simple text, nice lined up in a console.
So:
Item: Value: Another Value:
----------+----------+------------------
a | 1 | 2
bbbbbbbbb | 2 | 17
cc | 3 | 5
My hope was that somewhere in python land an existing module was waiting for me.
A module that also prints lines, headers....
Unfortunately, I can't find it. Books, Google...
Before I reinvent this wheel... please give me some tips, references, examples...
Thanks,
Vincent
