[Tutor] Alternative File I/O for Tuples

[Don Parris]

When I pickle a SQL result into a file (ASCII mode), it lays out the data in
an interesting format.  When I send it to the printer, I'd like to see it
arranged more like it is on the console screen - in tabbed columns.  None of
the tutorial type stuff I've seen even mentions printing files, or accessing
the files you create in a Python program.  I did manage to find an example
of a print function.

Here is some sample data from the resulting file:

((S'Everybody'
S'Anonymous'
Nt(S'James'
S'Austin'
S'704-111-1234'
t(S'Janet'
S'Austin'
S'704-111-1234'

I would like to see something more like when the file is printed:

Austin    James    704-111-1234
Austin    Janet    704-111-1234
etc.

Is this a simple task, or am I jumping into deep water? :)
