How do I print an aligned numpy array with (text) row and column labels?

Question

Is there any elegant way to exploit the correct spacing feature of print numpy.array to get a 2D array, with proper labels, that aligns properly? For example, g

Answer 1

Assuming all matrix numbers have at most 3 digits, you could replace the last part with this:

print "     A   B   C   D   E"
for row_label, row in zip(row_labels, x):
    print '%s [%s]' % (row_label, ' '.join('%03s' % i for i in row))

Which outputs:

     A   B   C   D   E
Z [ 85  86  87  88  89]
Y [ 90 191 192  93  94]
X [ 95  96  97  98  99]
W [100 101 102 103 104]

Formatting with '%03s' results in a string of length 3 with left padding (using spaces). Use '%04s' for length 4 and so on. The full format string syntax is explained in the Python documentation.
