[AstroPy] two columns with two character delimiter

[Azalee Bostroem]

Hi,

The Gemini ITC requires a user defined spectrum to have columns separated by two spaces. Does anyone know how to write out an astropy table with this format? I tried the following:
format='ascii': this writes out columns separated by a space
delimiter='  ': this produces an error, delimiters are required to be one character
format='fixed_width', delimiter_pad=' ': the produces a variable number of spaces between columns since each number doesn’t have an identical number of digits
format='ascii', delimiter_pad=' ': this produces an error, delimiter_pad is only a keyword for fixed_width format

I know there are ways to do with outside of Table.write, but I’m curious if there is a way to achieve this format with Table.write?

Thanks,
Azalee
