>>> from py_tabwriter import TabWriter
>>> tw = TabWriter()
>>> tw.writeln('first\tsecond\tthird')
>>> tw.write('x\txx\txxx\n')
>>> tw.write(['column 1', 'column 2', 'column 3'])
>>> print(str(tw))
first    second   third
x        xx       xxx
column 1 column 2 column 3
>>> tw.alignment = 'r'
>>> print(str(tw))
   first   second    third
       x       xx      xxx
column 1 column 2 column 3
