Python utility for formatting human readable tables
max_width constrains the entire table (including margins). default is 200
print(ptable(
("one", "two", "three"),
("short", "medium but still pretty short", " ".join(["really long"] * 20)),
max_width=105))| one | two | three |
|:----- |:----------------------------- |:----------------------------------------------------------- |

| | | really long really long really long really long really long |
| | | really long really long really long really long really long |
| | | really long really long really long really long really long |
print(ptable(
("one", "two", "three"),
("short", "medium but still pretty short", " ".join(["really long"] * 5)),
max_width=30,
justification=(ljust, cjust, rjust)))| one | two | three |

fmt is a provided helper for turning a format string into a function, but any function (any => str) is acceptable
