Python random formatting issues

[Gribouillis]

Is it possible to have width (in this case 4 and 40) as a variable, so it can vary depending on text length?

Here is an eight years old example of variable width and precision

rabbits = {
    "flopsy" : 1.0/3, "mopsy" : 576.0/7, "cotton tail": .76/5, "peter": 300000.0/37,
}

nwidth = 1 + max(len(name) for name in rabbits)

for name in sorted(rabbits):
    # the floating point precision is passed as argument to format
    print("{name:{namewidth}}:{score:>10.{precision}f}".format(
          name = name, score = rabbits[name],
          namewidth = nwidth, precision = 2))

"""my output ---->
cotton tail :      0.15
flopsy      :      0.33
mopsy       :     82.29
peter       :   8108.11
"""
