Yes it's very possible. All you need are some print statements
with suitable formatting. Or you could create an HTML file with
a table...

What is your problem exactly? What bit do you not understand?

Can you write Python code already? Or are you a complete beginner?
Do you know how to produce the table by hand
- using pen and paper say?

Is this a homework assignment?
Or do you have a specific use for this?
(There may be other, simpler, ways to do what you want.)

HTH,
