Pour rendre les choses intéressantes, essayons avec une matrice plus grande :
matrix = [
["Ah!", "We do have some Camembert", "sir"],
["It's a bit", "runny", "sir"],
["Well,", "as a matter of fact it's", "very runny, sir"],
["I think it's runnier", "than you", "like it, sir"]
]
s = [[str(e) for e in row] for row in matrix]
lens = [max(map(len, col)) for col in zip(*s)]
fmt = '\t'.join('{{:{}}}'.format(x) for x in lens)
table = [fmt.format(*row) for row in s]
print '\n'.join(table)
Sortie :
Ah! We do have some Camembert sir
It's a bit runny sir
Well, as a matter of fact it's very runny, sir
I think it's runnier than you like it, sir
UPD : pour les cellules multilignes, quelque chose comme ceci devrait fonctionner :
text = [
["Ah!", "We do have\nsome Camembert", "sir"],
["It's a bit", "runny", "sir"],
["Well,", "as a matter\nof fact it's", "very runny,\nsir"],
["I think it's\nrunnier", "than you", "like it,\nsir"]
]
from itertools import chain, izip_longest
matrix = chain.from_iterable(
izip_longest(
*(x.splitlines() for x in y),
fillvalue='')
for y in text)
Et ensuite appliquer le code ci-dessus.
