Print text pyramid with spacing

http://tekknolagi.co.cc/cgi-bin/helloworld.py

that's the output

what i would like it to do is make a pyramid shape

here's the code...


#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

# enable debugging
import cgitb
cgitb.enable()

print "Content-Type: text/plain;charset=utf-8"
print



for i in range(1,10):
    x = "hi "*i
    print x.rjust(40)

for i in range(1, 10):
    x = " hi"*i
    print x.ljust(40)

how do i get it to do that?

    print x.rjust(40), x.ljust(40)

                                  hi  hi                                

                               hi hi  hi hi                             

                            hi hi hi  hi hi hi                          

                         hi hi hi hi  hi hi hi hi

I had no clue about these justification functions.

A little ipython auto completion showed me a center method. 

for i in range(1, 10):
    x = "hi " * i
    print x.center(40)

Ya learn something every day.

You can make use of the center command so that you can print both sides at once:

for i in range(1, 10):
    x = " hi" * i * 2
    print x.center(80)
