This isn't particularly pretty code, but I think it does what you are looking
for
def printV(varL):
""" assumes varL is a list of strings, each
string is the variable NAME of a list
prints the lists named in varL in vertical
columns
"""
def llen(l,L):
""" l is a length, L is a list
returns a copy of the list L padded with
blanks to a length l
"""
nL = L[:]
while len(nL)<l:
nL = nL[:]+[' ']
return nL
# Determine the max length of the lists while
# printing the list names
vmax =0
for name in varL:
print(name, end='\t')
vmax = max(vmax, len(globals()[name]))
print()
# Pad all lists to same (max) length and create
# a dictionary of lists indexed by var name
D = {}
for name in varL:
D[name] = llen(vmax, globals()[name])
# Print out the list data
for i in range(vmax):
for k in D.keys():
print(D.get(k)[i], end='\t')
print()
a=[1,2,4,6]
bad=[2,4,5,6]
craft=[4,5,86,6]
beer=[3,4,6]
my_list = ["a", "bad", "craft", "beer"]
printV(my_list)
