How to show dictionary data in table format in terminal

Question

I am trying to solve the simple usecase where I need to show data in terminal in tabular style not needed fancy table but somehow that emits like table.

here is my code.

score = {'rounds_0': {'jack': 9, 'joe': 8}, 'rounds_1': {'jack': 11, 'joe': 13}}

players_name = ["jack","joe"]
for each_rounds in range(0,2):
    print(f"""              ********Round {each_rounds + 1}****""", end='')
print()

for player, each_rounds in zip(players_name, range(0,2) ):
   print(player,score.get(f'rounds_{each_rounds}').get(player))

currently my output is as follows

              ********Round 1****              ********Round 2****
jack 9
joe 13

I am trying to include round_0 dict value unders Round 1 column and similary Round 2 for round_1
like this and if possible sum of each row

              ********Round 1****              ********Round 2****          *****Total*****
jack                 9                                  11                       20
joe                  8                                  13                       21

I really tried some for loop concepts but can’t figure out how I do it as I am really beginner in python any help will be really great.

You’re iterating players and rounds together, but what you need to do is iterate players and then rounds for each player. It’s probably easier to generate a list of scores for each player and then print that:

score = {'rounds_0': {'jack': 9, 'joe': 8}, 'rounds_1': {'jack': 11, 'joe': 13}}
players = list(score['rounds_0'].keys())
rounds = range(len(score.keys()))
print(f"          {''.join(f' **** Round {rd} **** ' for rd in rounds)} **** Total ****")
for player in players:
    scores = [score[f'rounds_{rd}'].get(player, 0) for rd in rounds]
    print(f"{player:10s}{''.join(f'{s:^20d}' for s in scores)}{sum(scores):^15d}")

Output:

           **** Round 0 ****  **** Round 1 ****  **** Total ****
jack               9                   11               20
joe                8                   13               21
