print"client:mount-point:logfile:status"

print"---------------------------------"

print clientname,mntpt,logfile,status

Currently it prints something like this :

If you're trying to format a table, consider using other software for table formatting.

As an example, you can produce HTML with the print statements and view the table with a browser. Another option is to generate csv data to be viewed using a spreadsheet program.

Take a look at string formatting : http://docs.python.org/release/2.5.2/lib/typesseq-strings.html
