[Matplotlib-users] trailing space in text string stripped, making it impossible to right-pad my text

[Christopher Barrington-L. <cpb...@gm...>]

Hello. My problem is as follows:
(ipython --pylab)

from pylab import *
pp=plot([0,0],[1,1])
text(xlim()[0],1,'    Need padding   ',horizontalalignment='left')
text(xlim()[1],1,'    Need padding   ',horizontalalignment='right')


The second case does not do what I want, which is to pad the text on the
right. Text strings are stripped on the right, but no on the left. How can I
elegantly create a character of space?

Thanks!
