Center Text in CMD-CodePudding

Hello. I'm trying to center some text in CMD but it's not completely in the middle.

from shutil import get_terminal_size
from termcolor import colored

columns = get_terminal_size().columns

title = [
    '       ____    _           _   ',
    '__   _|___ \  | |__   ___ | |_ ',
    "\ \ / / __) | | '_ \ / _ \| __|",
    ' \ V / / __/  | |_) | (_) | |_ ',
    '  \_/ |_____| |_.__/ \___/ \__|'
]

for i in title:
    print(colored(i, 'red').center(columns))

I tried to add some numbers to columns like columns = get_terminal_size().columns 50 but then it strangely adds space between the lines like following:

Still not in the middle..

Why don't you try using the rich Python library? Using rich, you can do all sorts of things with UI!

Install rich using: python -m pip install rich

Now, you can use rich.align.Align to align your text (wow, that was a mouthful)!

from rich.console import Console
from rich.text import Text
from rich.align import Align

rich_console = Console()

title = [
    '       ____    _           _   ',
    '__   _|___ \  | |__   ___ | |_ ',
    "\ \ / / __) | | '_ \ / _ \| __|",
    ' \ V / / __/  | |_) | (_) | |_ ',
    '  \_/ |_____| |_.__/ \___/ \__|'
]

# So first we are converting your list into a string separated by newlines
# Then we align to the center
# And then we turn your text red!
console.print(Align("\n".join(title), align="center", style="red"))

Solution found, I tried:

columns = get_terminal_size().columns   10

I've tested 9 now, it works. It's a solution, but not a good one because it's not dynamic enough. Still welcome if anyone has a better idea.
