Problem
You want to print a text using a certain width that you want to specify via a variable. Running example:
$ ./test.py Width: 10 ' World' Width: 20 ' World'
Solution
for _ in range(2):
width = int(raw_input("Width: "))
print("'{0:>{w}}'".format("World", w=width))
The sign ‘>‘ can be omitted. It simply means “align to the right”.
Tip from here.
