I am quite new to Python and I am now struggling with formatting my data nicely for printed output.
I have one list that is used for two headings, and a matrix that should be the contents of the table. Like so:
teams_list = ["Man Utd", "Man City", "T Hotspur"] data = np.array([[1, 2, 1], [0, 1, 0], [2, 4, 2]])
Note that the heading names are not necessarily the same lengths. The data entries are all integers, though.
Now, I want to represent this in a table format, something like this:
Man Utd Man City T Hotspur Man Utd 1 0 0 Man City 1 1 0 T Hotspur 0 1 2
I have a hunch that there must be a data structure for this, but I cannot find it. I have tried using a dictionary and formatting the printing, I have tried for-loops with indentation and I have tried printing as strings.
I am sure there must be a very simple way to do this, but I am probably missing it due to lack of experience.

Some ad-hoc code:
row_format ="{:>15}" * (len(teams_list) + 1) print(row_format.format("", *teams_list)) for team, row in zip(teams_list, data): print(row_format.format(team, *row))
This relies on str.format()
and the Format Specification Mini-Language.
