In showing a long lists, sometimes one would prefer to see the value arranged aligned in columns. Some examples include listing methods of an object, listing debugger commands, or showing a numeric array with data aligned.
This is a Python module to format a simple (i.e. not nested) list into aligned columns. A string with embedded newline characters is returned.
Setup
$ python >>> import columnize
With String data
Each column is only as wide as necessary. By default, columns are separated by two spaces; one was not legible enough. Set colsep to adjust the string separate columns. Set displaywidth to set the line width.
>>> g = ('bibrons', 'golden', 'madascar', 'leopard', 'mourning', 'suras', 'tokay') >>> print(columnize.columnize(g, displaywidth=15)) bibrons suras golden tokay madascar leopard mourning>>> print(columnize.columnize(g, displaywidth=19, colsep=' | ')) bibrons | mourning golden | suras madascar | tokay leopard>>> print(columnize.columnize(g, displaywidth=18, colsep=' | ', ljust=False)) bibrons | suras golden | tokay madascar leopard
Normally, consecutive items go down from the top to bottom from the left-most column to the right-most. If arrange_vertical is set false, consecutive items will go across, left to right, top to bottom.
With numeric data
>>> print(columnize.columnize(['1', '2', '3', '4'], displaywidth=6)) # => '1 3\n2 4\n' 1 3 2 4>>> print(columnize.columnize(list(range(1,6)), displaywidth=8)) 1 3 5 2 4
By default entries are left justified:
>>> print(columnize.columnize(list(range(1,16)), displaywidth=10))1 6 11 2 7 12 3 8 13 4 9 14 5 10 15
but you can change that with ljust or if arrange_array is set to True:
>>> print(columnize.columnize(list(range(1,16)), displaywidth=10, ljust=False)) 1 6 11 2 7 12 3 8 13 4 9 14 5 10 15>>> print(columnize.columnize(list(range(1,5)), opts={'arrange_array':True, 'displaywidth':6})) [1, 2 3, 4]

This module (essentially one function) was adapted from a private method of the same name from Python’s cmd module. Some adjustments and generalizations have been made.
