I have a dict that I would like to print out in a series of columns,
rather than as a bunch of lines. Normally when you do print(dict), the
output will look something like this:
{'Header2': ['2', '5', '8'], 'Header3': ['3', '6', '9'], 'Header1':
['1', '4', '7'], 'Header4': ['10', '11', '12']}
I can then iterate through (in this case) a list of the headers in
order to produce something similar to this:
Header1 = ['1', '4', '7']
Header2 = ['2', '5', '8']
Header3 = ['3', '6', '9']
Header4 = ['10', '11', '12']
What I want to know is how I can print out that information in a
column, where the header is the first line of the column, with the
data following underneath, like so:
Header1 Header2 Header3 Header4
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
9 10 11 12
Over alternative that only costs 2 lines of code, use pretty print (not
in columns but crystal clear):
import pprint
pprint.pprint(my_dict)
or in a file:
pprint.pprint(my_dict, open("output.dat", "wb"))
