I don't think there is any support for that kind of text layout.
The closest feature is probably pyplot.table:

https://matplotlib.org/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.table.html
http://matplotlib.org/examples/pylab_examples/table_demo.html

Another possibility is to use a monospaced font and align with spaces
(possibly using str.expandtabs to generate the spaces):
