I have a 2D array: >>>[['1', '2 ', '3 '], ['longer ', 'longer ', 'sort']]
> How can I get what is the max(len(item)) for the columns ? > I would like to get a list with the max_col_width values. >>> tda = [['1', '2 ', '3 '], ['longer ', 'longer ', 'sort']] >>> mcw = [[len(r) for r in c] for c in tda] >>> mcw [[1, 2, 5], [11, 10, 4]] >>> mcw = [max([len(r) for r in c]) for c in tda] >>> mcw [5, 11] >>> widest = max(mcw) >>> widest 11 Is that what you mean?
