> Is there anyway to print informtation from dictionaries better than this?:
For formatted printing look at the print format operator '%'
You can specify field sizes, justification etc
thus :
>>> pairs = {"Jon Moore": "Tony Moore",
"Simon Nightingale": "John Nightingale",
"David Willett": "Bernard Willet",
"John Jackson": "Stuart Jackson",
"James Southey": "Richard Southey",
"William Forsythe": "Shaun Forsythe"}
>>> print pairs.keys()
['David Willett', 'Jon Moore', 'John Jackson', 'Simon Nightingale', 'James
Southey', 'William Forsythe']
>>> for father,son in pairs.items:
... print "%20s\t%20s" % (father,son)
Which will print father and son each in a field 20 characters wide
with a tab between them.
The docs on the format operator are here:
