formatting txt file in new file and re arranging the data

How to insert 10 spaces in front of data.txt arrange like this

  0.00E+00  0.00E+00
  1.00E-02  1.91E-10
  2.00E-02  5.97E-10
  3.01E-02  2.80E-10
  4.01E-02  2.58E-10

I have used this code from python programmer post

with  open("data.txt", "r") as rf:
     with  open("data_copy3.txt", "w") as wf:
          for line in rf:
               wf.write(line)

I tried {:>10} but couldn't insert the space into the new data_copy3.txt

The new file should be arranged like:

          0.00E+00  0.00E+00
          1.00E-02  1.91E-10
          2.00E-02  5.97E-10
          3.01E-02  2.80E-10
          4.01E-02  2.58E-10

The original file is in the same format, just without 10 spaces in the beginning of each line.

Just print whatever you want in the loop, e.g.:

with open("data.txt", "r") as rf:
     with open("data_copy3.txt", "w") as wf:
          for line in rf:
               wf.write("         " + line)
