I was asked in class how we can create a table in Python. There are a number of ways to do this but the easiest is probably to use the .format method.
The program reads in data from a CSV file before displaying the information in a two column table. There is a lot of internal commentary you can strip out leaving just the code.
The main part of the program is line 28. Where the contents of names and scores are displayed one line at a time with padding to make them appear to be in a table.

Sometimes the files are in CSV format, which means that each line holds a records worth of data.
