Thanks for the code! I edited your comment to wrap the code in pre tags rather than code tags. I need to update the css file so that multiline code looks nice.

def pprintTable(out, table):
	"""Prints out a table of data, padded for alignment
	@param out: Output stream (file-like object)
	@param table: The table to print. A list of lists.
	Each row must have the same number of columns. """

	def format(num):
		"""Format a number according to given places.  Adds commas, etc. Will truncate floats into ints!"""
		#try:
		#	inum = int(num)
		#	return locale.format("%.*f", (0, inum), True)
		#except (ValueError, TypeError):
		return str(num)
	def get_max_width(table1, index1):
		"""Get the maximum width of the given column index"""
		return max([len(format(row1[index1])) for row1 in table1])

	col_paddings = []
	for i in range(len(table[0])):
		col_paddings.append(get_max_width(table, i))

	for row in table:
		# left col
		print(row[0].ljust(col_paddings[0] + 1),end="||",file=out)
		# rest of the cols
		for i in range(1, len(row)):
			col = format(row[i]).rjust(col_paddings[i] + 1)
			print(col,end=" |",file=out)
		print(file=out)
	return

Example use:

$ t = [
		["Header","A","B","C"],
		["Default Values","3","65","100"],
		["Actual Values","432","22222","99"]
	]
$ pprintTable(sys.stdout,t)
Header         ||   A |     B |   C |
Default Values ||   3 |    65 | 100 |
Actual Values  || 432 | 22222 |  99 |
