[Tutor] printing puzzlement

[Rob]

I decided to see if I could convert a simple amortization schedule program
written in C++ into something similar written in Python, because I thought
the explanation would make for some interesting Useless Python material.
Most of it is simple enough, but I'm puzzled about one part.

As seen in the C++ code snippet here, calculations are performed in the
middle of the display of each line of output. Does anyone know of a good way
to reproduce similar behavior in a Python program?


	// Display the amortization schedule
	cout <<
		"Pmt #  Cur. Prin.  Payment  Int. Paid  Rem. Prin." << endl;
	cout <<
		"-----  ----------  -------  ---------  ----------" << endl;
	for (int index = 0; index < numPayments; index++)
	{
		cout << setw(5) << right << (index + 1);
		cout << setw(12) << right << fixed << setprecision(2) << principle;
		cout << setw(9) << right << fixed << amtPayment;
		float interest = (float (int (principle * monthRate * 100) ) ) / 100.0;
		cout << setw(11) << right << fixed << interest;
		principle = principle + interest - amtPayment;
		cout << setw(12) << right << fixed << principle;
		cout << endl;
	}
