使用换行符对字符串进行Python格式化

我正在尝试很好地格式化数据库中的一些文本数据,以便在Django中发送电子邮件。我遇到了带换行符的字符串的一些问题。

特别是,我想要的输出是:

1)  t1                     t2
    t1_continue            t2_end
    t1_end

2)  s1                     s3
    s1_continue
    s1_end

这里从数据库中取出的字符串是“t1 \ nt1_continue \ nt1_end”,“t2 \ nt2_end”,“s1 \ ns1_continue \ ns1_end”和“s3”。

如果我们在Excel中有3列,那么所需的输出就像我们看到的那样。

我想说的是,某些字符串包含换行符,所以简单的格式化如:

print str(index) + '\t' + col1 + '\t' + col2 

不起作用。

请与我分享您的方法。

非常感谢。

\t的显示方式因操作系统,应用程序等而异。对于真正的字符串格式,我建议检查docs。对于你的例子,

print('{0})  {1:<25} {2}'.format(index,col1,col2))

假设col1永远不超过24个字符,将做你想做的事。如果是,您可以随时根据自己的喜好调整该值。

您可以使用<table>在电子邮件正文中显示表格数据。

print每个表格行的循环之前,print表格标题:

print('<table>')

对于每个数据行,请将其格式化为:

print('<tr><td>{0}</td><td>{1}</td><td>{2}</td></tr>'.format(index, col1, col2))   

最后,在print每个表格行的循环之后,print表格页脚:

print('</table>')

我以为我可以在几分钟内将一些东西放在一起,但是将文本格式化为列比我想象的要困难。不过这是我到目前为止所得到的,还是漂亮的马车......

class format_lines(object):
    """
    1)  some text goes      2nd column of text
        here. But not       its not really that
        all text goes       hard to add more text
        in this column      in a given format

    2)  another point

我想我明白你在问什么。您希望在列中自动换行文本,就像Excel在单元格中有一个文本块一样。我想this recipe会让你开始;它似乎做了你想要的。
