SHEESH!!!  Just now dawned on me what you really meant...

# hoist *this* part of the formatting code...!
format = ( "%(Date)ss %(Open)sf %(High)sf %(Low)sf "
           "%(Close)sf %(Volume)sd %(AdjClose)sf %(Change)ss"
            % fmt )

for ...:
    ...
    print format % map

At least I'm getting it...  :>
