i want display simple 2d array in tabular format headings @ top, values line under headings. there way this? have looked @ pprint , printing using numpy cannot work. here have @ moment:

myarray = [['student name','marks','level'],['johnny',68,4],['jennifer',59,3],['william',34,2]]  row in myarray:     print(" ")     each in row:         print(each,end = ' ') 

any suggestions?

you need align based on length of longest element:

myarray = [['student name','marks','level'],['johnny',68,4],['jennifer',59,3],['william',34,2]] mx = len(max((sub[0] sub in myarray),key=len))  row in myarray:     print(" ".join(["{:<{mx}}".format(ele,mx=mx) ele in row])) 

output:

student name marks        level        johnny       68           4            jennifer     59           3            william      34           2  

to include int values in max length calc:

mx = max((len(str(ele)) sub in myarray ele in sub)) row in myarray:     print(" ".join(["{:<{mx}}".format(ele,mx=mx) ele in row])) 

output:

student name marks        level        johnny       68           4            jennifer     59           3            william      34           2
