Once you do have (from os.environ[ COLUMNS ] if you insist, or via curses, or from an oracle, or defaulted to 80, or any other way you like) the desired output width, the rest is quite feasible. It s finnicky work, with many chances for off-by-one kinds of errors, and very vulnerable to a lot of detailed specs that you don t make entirely clear, such as: which column gets cut to avoid wrapping -- it it always the last one, or...? How come you re showing 3 columns in the sample output when according to your question only two are passed in...? what is supposed to happen if not all rows have the same number of columns? must all entries in table be strings? and many, many other mysteries of this ilk.

因此,对你不表达的所有幽灵,采用某种武断的格言,一种做法可能像......:

import sys

def colprint(totwidth, table):
  numcols = max(len(row) for row in table)
  # ensure all rows have >= numcols columns, maybe empty
  padded = [row+numcols*(  ,) for row in table]
  # compute col widths, including separating space (except for last one)
  widths = [ 1 + max(len(x) for x in column) for column in zip(*padded)]
  widths[-1] -= 1
  # drop or truncate columns from the right in order to fit
  while sum(widths) > totwidth:
    mustlose = sum(widths) - totwidth
    if widths[-1] <= mustlose:
      del widths[-1]
    else:
      widths[-1] -= mustlose
      break
  # and finally, the output phase!
  for row in padded:
    for w, i in zip(widths, row):
      sys.stdout.write( %*s  % (-w, i[:w]))
    sys.stdout.write( 
 )
