ENH: Aligning values to the left in printing or writing to a file

[dstone42]

Feature Type

• Adding new functionality to pandas

• Changing existing functionality in pandas

• Removing existing functionality in pandas

Problem Description

I wish I could print (console printing) or write a pandas data frame and have the values in each cell (not the column headers) aligned to the left.

Feature Description

It is default aligning to the right, and you would just have to add an option for left aligning.

Alternative Solutions

The Styler objects allow for this using CSS, but they aren't printable. If those could be printed or written to a file, that would also solve this issue.

Thanks for the request, but it appears there hasn't been much traction for this request over the years so closing
