I feel like you should have given some examples. For us who are not familiar with f-strings this post doesn't really tell us much. More on reddit.com

It works for me, mate. Maybe your computer is broken. >>> print(f"{'today':25}" + "xx") today xx >>> print(f"{'tomorrow':25}" + "xx") tomorrow xx >>> print(f"{'the day after tomorrow':25}" + "xx") the day after tomorrow xx Actually, looking at it a bit it's pretty clear that your browser is not using a monospace font.

Yuck! Mixing f-strings and comma-delimited args to print() is pretty unreadable, plus hard to get right with the extra spaces between arguments. Stick to one f-string per print().

The obvious way to do this (f"${...}") doesn't work the way you want. Run this code:

# make some test data
data = (("alpha", 1.23), ("beta", 12.34),
        ("gamma", 123.45), ("delta", 1234.56))
    
for (text, val) in data:
    text_str = f"{text}:"
    print(f"{text_str:<10}${val:>10.2f}")
#                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^    print $ plus value, value right justified

This prints:

alpha:    $      1.23
beta:     $     12.34
gamma:    $    123.45
delta:    $   1234.56

Which does right-justify the numeric values, but the $ is in a column of its own.

The way to fix that is use the same trick the code above uses to handle the preceding text on each line. My code has to add the trailing : to each line text. It does that by creating a string with the text and an added final :. Then justify the whole string in the final f-string field. Like this:

# make some test data
data = (("alpha", 1.23), ("beta", 12.34),
        ("gamma", 123.45), ("delta", 1234.56))
    
for (text, val) in data:
    text_str = f"{text}:"
    val_str = f"${val:.2f}"
    print(f"{text_str:<10} {val_str:>10s}")
#                          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^    print right justified *string*

That gives you what you want.

alpha:          $1.23
beta:          $12.34
gamma:        $123.45
delta:       $1234.56

Your code won't need that trick for the initial line text, of course.

You can use the string formatting mini-language in an f-string or .format() string method. It's possible to left or right justify values in a given field width, along with many other neat manipulations. Here's a simple example showing how, try running it: # make up some dummy data: (label, value) data = (("longer name", 42), ("short", 3.14159), ("really really long", -5.1), ) label_width = 20 # must be at least width of longest label for (label, value) in data: print(f"{label:>{label_width}s}: {value}") Edit: grammar.
