How to add " | " to a mutliplication table?

[Fuugie]

I am having trouble trying to add the "|" character to my multiplication table. The output is suppose to have a column on the far left reading 1,2,3,4, etc. and have the "|" character separating it from the rest of the table. This is what I have at the moment.

'''
This program allows a user to make a multiplication table of their choise in size.
'''
number = int(raw_input('What size multiplication table would you like: '))
 
i = 1
print "-" * 50
while i < 11:
    n = 1
    while n <= 10:
        print "%4d" % (i * n),
        n += 1
    print ""
    i += 1
print "-" * 50
 
raw_input('Press ENTER to continue...')

I think this will do what you want:

number = int(raw_input('What size multiplication table would you like: '))
 
i = 1
print "-" * 100
while i < 11:
    print "|".join(["%4d" % (i), "".join(["%4d" % (i*n) for n in range(2,11)])])
    i += 1
print "-" * 100
 
raw_input('Press ENTER to continue...')

Issuing multiple print statements is slow compared to joining strings and issuing one print statement. In the above example, I am joining two strings with the "|" character, the current value of "i" and another string. The other string is created by joining a list of strings created with a list comprehension. The list comprehension is equivalent to:

strlist = []
for n in range(2,11):
    strlist.append("%4d" % (i*n))

I need the output to show like a real multiplication table would. Example: http://www.dingeman.org/images/times-table-12x12.gif

The same principles will apply.

How would I add "1 through x" above the multiplication table to make it look like an actually multiplication table to this code? I was able to get the "|" character in the table, but can't figure out the other part.

x = int(raw_input('What size multiplication table would you like: '))
for row in range(1, x + 1):
    print "|".join(["%4d" % (row), "".join(["%4d" % (row*col) for col in range(1, x + 1)])])
 
 

The correct output is suppose to look something like this:

 |   1   2   3   4   5
----------------------
1|   1   2   3   4   5
2|   2   4   6   8  10
3|   3   6   9  12  15
4|   4   8  12  16  20
5|   5  10  15  20  25
