Parameterize formatting string

Hello,

I 'd like to know if a std::setw() equivalent function exists in
python ?

i thought of something like :

a = 16
"%ai" % 12

But it is not correct.

Any Idea ?

Thanks a lot,

Cyril.

("%i" % 12).rjust(a)

Or, more ugly:

"%%%di" % a % 12

The first % (after quotes) builds this string: "%16i".
Then the second % operation converts that string to ' 12'

Or, less ugly: "%*i" % (a,12)
