6.7 printTable(table) -《automate the boring stuff with python》

新手上路，首次分享。
考虑到了不规则列表，将原tableData稍作了改动。

tableData = [['apples', 'oranges', 'cherries', 'banana', 'test1'],
             ['Alice', 'Bob', ' ','Carol', 'David'],
             ['dogs', 'cats', 'moose', 'goose'],
             ['test2']]

def printTable(table):

    x = len(table)
    y = len(table[0])

    newTable = [
        len(s)
        for i in table
        for s in i
    ]

    width = max(newTable)

    for j in range(y):
        for i in range(x):
            try:
                print(table[i][j].rjust(width), end='')
            except IndexError:
                pass
        print()

printTable(tableData)

运行结果如下：

  apples   Alice    dogs   test2
 oranges     Bob    cats
cherries           moose
  banana   Carol   goose
   test1   David
