Easily columize code. Example would be "columnice.py ,". This will columize the text using the comma ',' as the delimeter.

columnice.py

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys

def matrix( text, seperator_x='\t', seperator_y='\n'):
  table = []
  rows = text.split( seperator_y )
  for index, row in enumerate( rows ):
    table.insert( index, row.split( seperator_x ) )
  return table

def sizes( table=[] ):
  sizes = []
  for row in table:
    for index, field in enumerate(row):
      try:
        sizes[index] = max( len(field), sizes[index] )
      except Exception, e:
        sizes.insert( index, len(field) )
        pass
  return sizes

def collumns( table=[], sizes=[], seperator='\t' ):
  for row in table:
    line = ''
    for index, field in enumerate(row):
      field_size = len(field)
      field_max  = sizes[index]
      size_diff  = field_max - field_size
      if index < len(row)-1:
        line = line + field + seperator + ( ' ' * size_diff )
      else:
        line = line + field
    print line
    line = ''

try:
  sepe = sys.argv[1]
except Exception, e:
  raise e
  sys.exit(1)
text = sys.stdin.read()
t = matrix( text, sepe )
s = sizes( t )
c = collumns( t, s, sepe )
sys.exit(0)
