Pad a string to the left with any number of characters

Project description

Pad a string to the left with any number of characters

pip install left-pad

Then

>>> from left_pad import left_pad
>>> s = "abc"
>>> left_pad(s, 2, "+")
'++abc'

Make sure to add left-pad to your dependencies in your next project.

Or, if you want to reinvent the wheel, go ahead and try to do it with the standard library

>>> s.rjust(len(s) + 2, '+')
'++abc'
