My chanllenge  is that each field needs to have a exact specific
position in the output file.
For instance a_field needs to start at position 2 in the line, b_fields
at position 18 and so on, for all the fields on each line.

You can use string formatting operations:

row = ("a", "b")
print "  %-16s%-16s" % row
