I know this is dumb, but something is strange. Everything works from the python3 interpreter but in my code it doesn’t work. All I want is a string to be padded to the right.
This doesn’t work
ename = f'"{endpoint}"' print(f'{header} {ename:<30}!') I always get a single space before the ! I expect to get this (which I get in the interactive mode)
HEADER ENAME....................!
(note: I put dots there to make the spaces clear, they should be spaces!)
But I get
HEADER ENAME.!
If I change it to this, it works
ename = f'"{endpoint}"' print(f'{header} {ename:!<30}!') But the padding is ! marks. (which was a test). If I change the ! to a space, that doesn’t work.
Clearly I’m being dumb and missing something important. What an I missing? Thanks.
UPDATE: Appears to be caused by some post processing after python runs. Not sure what it is, but I don’t believe it’s python at the moment. Strange indeed!
UPDATE2: Well, I’m dumb. Problem was that this ultimately went through an HTML renderer and that would remove multiple spaces (exactly as it should). So 100% not a python issue. Thanks to all.
