String formatting in wx.ListBox

Question

I'm new to Python and I want to display string with specific format in wx.ListBox.

For example: with proper alignment, but It display as below.

CODE:

fileName = fileName + str(" " * (38 - len(fileName)))
self.displayList.append( "   %02d             %s  %0.2fKB" % (index+1, fileName, fileSize ))

When I Print self.displayList, It display with proper alignment.

Let me know where I am wrong, or what should be other way to display string with proper alignment.

EDIT

First thanks for the reply.

By applying your(Sundar Nataraj) solution, Output is same as you mention but its on Console, While in wx.ListBox, again not in proper formatting.

See Below image.

I just pass displayList as argument.

self.autoNcListbox = wx.ListBox(self.autoProgListPanel, wx.ID_ANY, wx.Point( 0, 25), wx.Size( 512, 510 ), self.displayList, wx.RAISED_BORDER)

Answer 1

try this way,

index=[1,2,3,4]
text=['animal','gv','asdfasdfasd','adfasdfasdf']
size=['1kb','2kb','3kb','4kb']
displaylist=[]

for i in zip(index,text,size):
    s=""
    for j in range(0,3):
        s +='{0:{fill}{align}16}'.format(i[j], fill=' ', align='<')

    print s
    displaylist.append(s)

for i in displaylist:
    print i

output

1                animal           1kb             
2                gv               2kb             
3                asdfasdfasd      3kb             
4                adfasdfasdf      4kb  

Edit:

import wx
import sys
from wx.lib.mixins.listctrl import ListCtrlAutoWidthMixin


index=[1,2,3,4]
text=['animal','gv','asdfasdfasd','adfasdfasdf']
size=['1kb','2kb','3kb','4kb']
displaylist=[]
for i,j,l in zip(index,text,size):
    displaylist.append((i,j,l))




class AutoWidthListCtrl(wx.ListCtrl, ListCtrlAutoWidthMixin):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        wx.ListCtrl.__init__(self, parent, -1, style=wx.LC_REPORT)
        ListCtrlAutoWidthMixin.__init__(self)


class Actresses(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, size=(380, 230))

        hbox = wx.BoxSizer(wx.HORIZONTAL)

        panel = wx.Panel(self, -1)

        self.list = AutoWidthListCtrl(panel)
        self.list.InsertColumn(0, 'index', width=140)
        self.list.InsertColumn(1, 'text', width=130)
        self.list.InsertColumn(2, 'filesize', wx.LIST_FORMAT_RIGHT, 90)

        for i in displaylist:
            index = self.list.InsertStringItem(sys.maxint, str(i[0]))
            self.list.SetStringItem(index, 1, i[1])
            self.list.SetStringItem(index, 2, i[2])

        hbox.Add(self.list, 1, wx.EXPAND)
        panel.SetSizer(hbox)

        self.Centre()
        self.Show(True)

app = wx.App()
Actresses(None, -1, 'file')
app.MainLoop()
