How to align title and value?

[vortexroc]

if i use the chinese as column name,the column names and values could not be aligned,like this:

Are all of those characters the same fixed width as the numbers below?

It's putting in the 'correct' number of padding spaces, assuming the characters are fixed width:

In [39]: df
Out[39]: 
   丂丅丆七  丈三上丌万下丈
0     0        1
1     0        1
2     0        1

In [40]: en
Out[40]: 
   aaaa  bbbbbbb
0     0        1
1     0        1
2     0        1

In [41]: str(df)
Out[41]: '   丂丅丆七  丈三上丌万下丈\n0     0        1\n1     0        1\n2     0        1'

In [42]: str(en)
Out[42]: '   aaaa  bbbbbbb\n0     0        1\n1     0        1\n2     0        1'

In [43]: str(en).count(' ')
Out[43]: 44

In [44]: str(df).count(' ')
Out[44]: 44

The character's twice the number's width，so i can't solve this problem.

Ok. You may have more luck in the IPython notebook, since those are in HTML. My example looks a lot nicer.

I'm going to close this issue since I don't think there's any realistic way to get the character width in python.
