In the first example from my text file below, the dictionary pairs, constructed from sorted tuples were in straight columns. When I write them to my QTextEdit, however, the columns are no longer straight. Some of the padding inserted by my call to rightJustified() are not equal to the actual size of the text, so some rows are longer than others in the text browser. I know I've encountered this before, perhaps with Java, but I can't remember the solution. How do I get the formatting of my output to the gui to reflect the output I would get to a file using the builtin write() function? Any help is appreciated. Sorry about the confusion.
