Hi Python gurus, hope you're doing well. I've a small problem.

When I run the following code
___________________________________________________
names = ['oltmans','abramhovic','\n','sal','lee']
print '| ' + ' | '.join(names)
| oltmans | abramhovic |
  | sal | lee
___________________________________________________

I get the output like above. However, I want it to output like below

| oltmans | abramhovic |
| sal | lee


That is, there shouldn't be a space in the beginning of second line.
The list can of course contain more than 5 elements. Any ideas? I will
appreciate any hint. Thanks in advance.

print "|%s|" % "|".join(n if n == "\n" else " %s " % n for n in names)
| oltmans | abramhovic |
| sal | lee |

Or:

    print ('| ' + ' | '.join(names)).replace("\n ", "\n")
