You can also format the string before passing it to write (which is
probably what Rhodri meant by "do my own formatting", like this:
outstream.write("X: %7.2f\n" % thing[0])
or this
outstream.write("X: {0:7.2f}\n".format(thing[0]))
or (since Python 3.6) this:
outstream.write(f"X: {thing[0]:7.2f}\n")
There are of course many variants to all three methods.
