>1) Using string formatting:
> >>> print("x{0}x{1}x".format(" " * 38, " " * 9))
You can specify alignment and padding with string formatting too. It just requires you to know the formatting mini-language.

>>> 'x{0:>40}x{1:^30}x{2:<40}'.format( 'right', 'center' , 'left' )

'x                                   rightx            center            xleft                                    '
