I hate to tell you this, but "%6s" in C does NOT print 6 strings. It prints 1 string, right justified, in no less that 6 characters. C is just like Python in this example. | What are the other options . Write a small loop to iterate over the strings. Print a tab before each string except the first.

You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat. - Albert Einstein, when asked to describe radio -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
