max width of a column about prettytable HOT 5 CLOSED

Thanks for the suggestion Tibor, this is a good idea.  Some discussion about a
possible final change to PrettyTable 0.6 is currently under way in the
prettytable-devel mailing list.  Once this last issue is sorted out, 0.6 will be
released and I'll start work on 0.7, which will include new features.  I'll 
make sure
to have a go at implementing your feature for 0.7.

This functionality exists in trunk.  As far as I can tell, it works well.  I 
don't remember when it appeared there or who wrote it, but thank you to whoever 
did.  The syntax is:

table.max_width["fieldname"] = 42

[deleted comment]

from prettytable import from_csv
fp = gzip.open(rawEventsFile, 'rb')
pt = from_csv(fp)
fp.close()
table = pt.get_string(fields=["_time", "host", "index", "linecount", "source", 
"sourcetype", "server", "tag::sourcetype"])
pt.max_width["_time"] = 14

Nothing happens

Any ideas ? 

Thanks

Are you caling get_string again after changing max_width?  "table" is just a 
string in your code above.  You can't change it by making changes to "pt".
