Formatting a list of text into columns

Question

I\'m trying to output a list of string values into a 2 column format. The standard way of making a list of strings into \"normal text\" is by using the string.join

Answer 1

This works

it = iter(skills_defs)
for i in it:
    print('{:<60}{}'.format(i, next(it, "")))
