CJK Format

This Python 3 module provides utility functions for formatting fixed-width CJK strings. One of the most important features of tihs module is to align Latin and CJK characters using %{width}s specifiers. For example, the following lines

print('%-10s|%-10s|' % ('ab', 'cd'))
print('%-10s|%-10s|' % ('가나다라', '마바사아'))

will print misaligned lines between Latin and CJK characters even with the %-10s specifiers.

Now, using this module's f() function, the above example would be

from cjkformat import f

print(f('%-10s|%-10s|', 'ab', 'cd'))
print(f('%-10s|%-10s|', '가나다라', '마바사아'))

which will print nicely aligned output.

The module also defines a shortcut function printf() to minic the same function in the C language. For example,

from cjkformat import printf

printf('%-10s|%-10s|\n', 'ab', 'cd')
printf('%-10s|%-10s|\n', '가나다라', '마바사아')
