Works OK for me on the console:
Python 2.5 (r25:51908, Sep 19 2006, 09:52:17) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win
32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> foo = ['123', '1234', '12345']
>>> for each in foo:
... print each.center(10, ".") + " | "
...
...123.... |
...1234... |
..12345... |
>>>
>>> for each in foo:
... print each.center(10, " ") + " | "
...
123 |
1234 |
12345 |
>>> for each in foo:
... guff = each.center(10, " ") + " | "
... print guff + str(len(guff))
...
123 | 13
1234 | 13
12345 | 13

Of course if I go into IDLE and change it to use a proportionally
spaced font (e.g. Arial), and do this:
>>> foo = ['lllll', 'mmmmm']
>>> for each in foo:
print each.center(10, ' ') + ' | '
lllll |
mmmmm |
>>>
naturally they don't line up. If something like that isn't the cause
of your problem, you'll need to provide more information about your
environment.
