Printing Lists as Tabular Data

Question

I am quite new to Python and I am now struggling with formatting my data nicely for printed output.

I have one list that is used for two headings, and a matrix that

Answer 1

I found this just looking for a way to output simple columns. If you just need no-fuss columns, then you can use this:

print("Titlex\tTitley\tTitlez")
for x, y, z in data:
    print(x, "\t", y, "\t", z)

EDIT: I was trying to be as simple as possible, and thereby did some things manually instead of using the teams list. To generalize to the OP's actual question:

#Column headers
print("", end="\t")
for team in teams_list:
    print(" ", team, end="")
print()
# rows
for team, row in enumerate(data):
    teamlabel = teams_list[team]
    while len(teamlabel) < 9:
        teamlabel = " " + teamlabel
    print(teamlabel, end="\t")
    for entry in row:
        print(entry, end="\t")
    print()

Ouputs:

          Man Utd  Man City  T Hotspur
  Man Utd       1       2       1   
 Man City       0       1       0   
T Hotspur       2       4       2   

But this no longer seems any more simple than the other answers, with perhaps the benefit that it doesn't require any more imports. But @campkeith's answer already met that and is more robust as it can handle a wider variety of label lengths.
