What is the easiest way in Python 3.x to write output positionally?
For example I have one literal I want in column 1, the next one in
column 40, the third one in column 50. I've tried usings tabs and I'm
not getting what I want. Is it something to do with C style printf
formatting? An example would be greatly appreciated.
Narrow down your environment a bit. Where is this output going? To a
file, to a printer, to the console? If the latter, in what environment?
The only portable way to position yourself would be to pad with spaces.
If you want to output a fixed width string, perhaps you'd want to use
the format method of str.
