duplicating a print in python

I have a problen when I try to print the result of a function several times. lets say for example that after several commands the result is that dreawing

()()()
 ()()
  ()

now I want to duplicate it according to a function so i used a loop but it will only print it again in a vertical way like that:

()()()
 ()()
  ()

()()()
 ()()
  ()

()()()
 ()()
  ()

while I want it to be horizontal like that:

()()()  ()()()   ()()()
 ()()    ()()     ()()
  ()      ()       ()

can you help me??

Here is a working solution to your problem.

lines = [
"()()()",
" ()()",
"  ()"
]

def replicate(lines, n):
    width = reduce(max, map(len, lines))
    return (' '.join([line.ljust(width)] * n) for line in lines)

for line in replicate(lines, 3):
    print line

edit: added spacing management

edit2: used a generator expression because of peer pressure :-)
