others have discussed format strings. One final tip is to put the format string in a variable then use that in printing/writing the output eg: fmt = '%10.3f\t%10.3f\t%10.3f' print fmt % v1,v2,v3 This has the advantage that you can build the format string dynamically by examining the data first - eg the maximum length of an entry. Also by using a minus sign in the format string you can change the justification.
