I would suggest using the string format() method to lay out the columns 
as you want them.  You could use tab, but if your data values vary much, 
you'll get inconsistent results (i.e., if one row's value goes past the 
next tab stop).  You'll want to create your own for loop to iterate over 
the (possibly sorted) list of values, printing each row the way you want it.
