the following:

>I can't find a formatting way to get columns of data. 

	Show us what you've tried.

	Hint: practically every Python formatting operation allows for
specifying a field width. String interpolation formatting 
	"format string with %s or other placeholders" % (tuple, of, data)
essentially follows C printf() format capability (with the extension that
%s can be used for practically every data type, but for numerics you likely
want %d or %f or %e)
