Columns don't line up with headers in output.

When the experiment finishes, a table is printed like this:

The output is quite hard to read because the data doesn't line up with the headings.

I don't know if prettytable would help. I've used it a bit for this kind of thing and found that it works pretty (no pun intended) well.

Does this do the trick? https://github.com/smarr/ReBench/pull/246

ReBench uses this library for the table formatting: https://humanfriendly.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html?highlight=format_pretty_table#humanfriendly.tables.format_pretty_table

Looks much better!

Looking at your CI output here: https://ci.soft-dev.org/#/builders/3/builds/307 I am not sure you control the source of you build system, but if you do, you'd want to change the css style from:

.logline>span {
    white-space: nowrap;
}

.logline>span {
    white-space: pre;
}

This should preserver the whitespace. See also: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/white-space#values

It's buildbot doing that. I'm not too worried, since you can click "raw" and it just gives you plain text with correct formatting.

Closing with #246 being merged. Thanks!
