Formating text in python, alignment

Question

This is the code, it uses the binance API it goes through all currencies and only shows the ones with the balance higher than 0:

import time
time.sleep(1)
from datetime import datetime
current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
print(f"\n [{current_time}] Using PYPY3 \n")
print(f" [{current_time}] Importing modules... ")
import os



from binance.client import Client
from forex_python.converter import CurrencyRates
current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
print(f" [{current_time}] Imported the modules!")

api_key = <api_key>
api_secret = <api_password>
client = Client(api_key, api_secret)


def get_balance():
    assets_btc = []
    assets_value = []
    assets = []
    sum_btc = 0.0
    current_btc_price_USD = client.get_symbol_ticker(symbol="BTCUSDT")["price"]
    balances = client.get_account()
    for _balance in balances["balances"]:
        asset = _balance["asset"]
        if _balance["asset"] not in Xcrypto:
            if float(_balance["free"]) != 0.0 or float(_balance["locked"]) != 0.0:
                try:
                    btc_quantity = float(_balance["free"]) + float(_balance["locked"])
                    if asset == "BTC":
                        assets.append(_balance["asset"])
                        sum_btc += btc_quantity
                        assets_value.append(btc_quantity)
                        assets_btc.append(btc_quantity * float(current_btc_price_USD))
                    else:
                        assets.append(_balance["asset"])
                        _price = client.get_symbol_ticker(symbol=asset + "BTC")
                        sum_btc += btc_quantity * float(_price["price"])
                        assets_value.append(btc_quantity)
                        assets_btc.append(btc_quantity * float(_price["price"]) * float(current_btc_price_USD))
                except Exception:
                    pass
    own_usd = sum_btc * float(current_btc_price_USD)
    return float("%.2f" % own_usd), assets, assets_value, assets_btc


if __name__ == "__main__":
    Xcrypto = ["EGLD"]
    current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    print(f"\n [{current_time}] Starting... \n")
    print(f" [{current_time}] Forbiden cryptos: {Xcrypto} \n")
    current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    print(f" [{current_time}] Connecting to binance API...")
    get_balance()
    current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    print(f" [{current_time}] Connected to the binance API! \n")
    current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    print(f" [{current_time}] Connecting to forex API...")
    USD_RON = float(CurrencyRates().get_rate('USD', 'RON'))
    current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    print(f" [{current_time}] Connected to the forex API! \n")
    print(f" [{current_time}] Conversion: USD to RON: {'%.2f' % USD_RON} \n")
    current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
    print(f" [{current_time}] Console will be cleared, updating the price every 2 seconds!")
    while 1:
        print("\n")
        Binance_USD, assets, assets_value, assets_btc = get_balance()
        Binance_RON = float("%.2f" % (Binance_USD * USD_RON))
        current_time = datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M:%S")
        os.system('cls' if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')
        for asset, asset_value, asset_btc in zip(assets, assets_value, assets_btc):
            print(f" [{current_time}] {asset} Balance: {'%.2f' % asset_value} Value: {'%.2f' % (float(asset_btc) * USD_RON)} RON")
        print(f"\n [{current_time}] Total balance:", str(Binance_RON) + " RON\n")

output:

 [15:11:26] BTC Balance: x.xx, Value: xxxx.xx RON
 [15:11:26] USDT Balance: xxx.xx, Value: xx.xx RON
 [15:11:26] TRX Balance: xx.x, Value: xx.x RON
 [15:11:26] XRP Balance: xxx.x, Value: xxx.xx RON
 [15:11:26] XLM Balance: x.xx, Value: x.xx RON

looking for something like this, exactly 2 spaces after the longest value:

 [15:11:26] BTC  Balance: x.xx    Value: xxxx.xx  RON
 [15:11:26] USDT Balance: xxx.xx  Value: xx.xx    RON
 [15:11:26] TRX  Balance: xx.xx   Value: xx.xx    RON
 [15:11:26] XRP  Balance: xxx.xx  Value: xxx.xx   RON
 [15:11:26] XLM  Balance: x.xx    Value: x.xxx    RON

Also any type of formatting like BOLD would be helpful! Using the windows command line to run it "python main.py". Thanks in advance!

What's displaying the text? Formatting codes will be different for different consoles. See [How do I print bold text in Python?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8924173/how-do-i-print-bold-text-in-python) — Peter Wood, Oct 06 '21 at 12:20
@PeterWood I am just doing "python main.py" in Windows console line so I guess, Windows10 console. — R0Best, Oct 06 '21 at 12:22
Oh dear, I seem to have stumbled across yet another Stackoverlfow pedant. Sorry @R0Best I'll try to behave in future. In the meantime I'll just delete every comment I've ever posted for fear of upsetting more people — , Oct 06 '21 at 12:49
@Sabil I have edited the post so it has the full code. BrutusForcus I am just saying that I need to accept an answer. — R0Best, Oct 06 '21 at 12:54
I came up with one possible solution, you can have a look @R0Best — Sabil, Oct 06 '21 at 13:36
See how to create a [mcve]. Your code about binance is irrelevant to your problem. You can reduce your question to one or two lines of code. — Peter Wood, Oct 06 '21 at 13:54

I am assuming that you values as like in code.

Code:

import datetime as dt


# ANSI colors
colors = (
    "\033[0m",   # End of color
    "\033[1m",   # Bold
    "\033[4m",   # Underline
)


current_time = dt.datetime.now().time().strftime('%H:%M:%S')
assets = ['BTC', 'USDT', 'TRX', 'XRP', 'XLM']
assets_value = [1.25456, 123.34565, 25.2455, 1234.44655, 456.64565]
assets_btc = [4.24565, 321.345645, 45.2455, 3456.44565, 789.6465]

# get max length
asset_max_len = max(len(i) for i in assets)
balance_max_len = max(len(str(round(i, 2))) for i in assets_value)
value_max_len = max(len(str(round(i, 2))) for i in assets_btc)

for asset, asset_value, asset_btc in zip(assets, assets_value, assets_btc):
    print(f" [{current_time}] {colors[1]}{asset:{asset_max_len}}{colors[0]} {colors[1]}Balance:{colors[0]} {'%.2f' % asset_value:{balance_max_len}} {colors[1]}Value:{colors[0]} {'%.2f' % asset_btc:{value_max_len}} {colors[1]}RON{colors[0]}")

Output:
