Again, my weird wishful-thinking code: print (3*'%12.3f', '%5.3f') %(a,b,c),d >(Note the spaces and parentheses. Python programmers thank you if put >them improving readability a little). Yes, ok. I can agree with that - separating the format from the variable list part sounds reasonable. > >Bye, >bearophile -- Ivan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
