You can left-align, center or right-align with format():
>>> print("| {:<12} | {:^12} | {:>12} |".format("left", "center", "right"))
| left | center | right |
The default is right-align for numbers and left-align for strings:
>>> "{:12}".format(42)
' 42'
>>> "{:12}".format("42")
'42 '
You can find the details here:
