Answer 1

Assming that you have a lists of lists:

for L in list_of_lists:
    print " ".join(L)

The str.join(iterable) function, joins the components of an iterable by the string given.

Therefore, " ".join([1, 2, 3]) becomes "1 2 3".

In case I might have misunderstood the question and each list is supposed to be a column:

for T in zip(list1, list2, list3, list4, list5):
    print " ".join(T)

zip() merges the given lists to one list of tuples:

>>> zip([1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9])
[(1, 4, 7), (2, 5, 8), (3, 6, 9)]

Cheers!
