Right now I'm using print(), calling the variables I want that are stored in a tuple and then formatting them using: print(format(x,"<10s")+ format(y,"<40s")...) but this gives me output that isn't aligned in a column form. How do I make it so that each row's element is aligned?
So, my code is for storing student details. First, it takes a string and returns a tuple, with constituent parts like: (name,surname,student ID, year).
It reads these details from a long text file on student details, and then it parses them through a tuplelayout function (the bit which will format the tuple) and is meant to tabulate the results.
So, the argument for the tuplelayout function is a tuple, of the form:
surname | name | reg number | course | year
My shell has the font settings changed so the alignment was off. Back to font: "Courier" and everything is working fine.
Sorry.
