Hi All,
How do I format printed data in python?
I could not find this in the Python Reference Manual:
http://docs.python.org/ref/print.html
Nor could I find it in Matloff's great tutorial:
http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/Python/PythonIntro.pdf
For example, how do I turn this:

22 Jan 17 2005 a2p
22 Jan 17 2005 acctcom
5374 Sep 15 2002 acledit
5664 May 13 2004 aclget
12020 May 13 2004 aclput
115734 Jun 2 2004 adb
46518 Jun 4 2004 admin

1453 Sep 15 2002 alias
28150 Jun 4 2004 alog
15 May 12 2005 alstat
into this:

22 Jan 17 2005 acctcom

'''.split('\n')
for line in data:
elements = line.split()
print '%-11s%-6s%-4s%-8s%s' % tuple(elements)
