Python module to format values with a template string like Perl format (perlform(1)).
In the template:
@<<<<Left justified field.@>>>>Right justified field.@||||Centered field.
Any other text in the template is copied through to the result.
The "~~" feature of Perl format is implied: repeat until all fields are exhausted.
Example:
textform.format("@<<<<<<<<:@|||||||:@>>>>>>>",
["now is the time for all",
"good men to",
"come to the aid of their party"])
returns:
"now is : good men : come to\n" +
"the time : to :the aid of\n" +
"for all : : their\n" +
" : : party"
