Python string not formatting properly

Question

I have this code

print("{0:<10} {1:>25}".format("Name", "RAM")) for droplet in droplets: print("{0:<10} {1:>25}".format(droplet.name, droplet.memory))

I want it to print out a nice column like this:

Name RAM example-droplet 1024 ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc1-01 1024

But instead I get this:

Name RAM example-droplet 1024 ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc1-01 1024

How can I get my desired output?

You ask the first field to only be 10. Should it be 25 instead? — Stephen Rauch

You indent to the wrong side. Try this:

print("{0:<30}{1:<10}".format("Name", "RAM")) for droplet in droplets: print("{0:<30}{1:<10}".format(droplet.name, droplet.memory))

which prints

Name RAM example-droplet 1024 ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-ncy1-01 1024

for me.

You can try as following

print("{0:35} {1}".format("Name", "RAM")) for droplet in droplets: print("{0:35} {1}".format(droplet.name, droplet.memory))

Testing by changing droplets to map:

print("{0:35} {1}".format("Name", "RAM")) droplets = [{'name': 'example-droplet', 'memory':1024}, {'name': 'ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc1-01', 'memory':256}] for droplet in droplets: print("{0:35} {1}".format(droplet['name'], droplet['memory']))

Result:

Name RAM example-droplet 1024 ubuntu-s-1vcpu-1gb-nyc1-01 256
