Python string format "%4d"%

Question

I have this code:

print("%4d"%word, end="")

Right now it's hard-coded to 4 letters words (The GUI is in the terminal)

I would like, if possible, for it to be dynamic after the biggest word chosen, is that possible and if so how?

Answer 1

Using the new python formatting you could do it as follows:

print "{{0}:.{1}}".format(word, n)
