[Tutor] positional output

[Cranky Frankie]

What is the easiest way in Python 3.x to write output positionally?
For example I have one literal I want in column 1, the next one in
column 40, the third one in column 50. I've tried usings tabs and I'm
not getting what I want. Is it something to do with C style printf
formatting? An example would be greatly appreciated.
