printing text tables with consistent width

[snippsat]

python-tabulate to take the more lazy way than @ichabod801

>>> from tabulate import tabulate

>>> knights = [['Sir Lancelot', 'The Holy Grail', 'Blue'],
    ['Sir Robin', 'The Holy Grail', "I don't know that."],
    ['Sir Galahad', 'The Grail', 'Blue. No, yel...'],
    ['King Arthur', 'The Holy Grail', 'What do you mean?']]

>>> print(tabulate(knights))
------------  --------------  ------------------
Sir Lancelot  The Holy Grail  Blue
Sir Robin     The Holy Grail  I don't know that.
Sir Galahad   The Grail       Blue. No, yel...
King Arthur   The Holy Grail  What do you mean?
------------  --------------  ------------------

>>> print(tabulate(knights, tablefmt="pipe"))
