I am glad you found what you wanted. I'm sad that you did not tell us more 
precisely what you wanted, as we could have steered you in that direction.

center() puts spaces to the right of dir. It that part of what you wanted, 
or just a side effect.?

I'd find less () easier to read:
print 'file'+'dir'.center(20)+'\n'+'='*15

and 2 print statements even better:
print 'file'+'dir'.center(20)
print '*15

Do you also appreciate the power of %? I hope you learn to use it also.
