create a string of variable length in python
<p>i need to create a string consisting of spaces, and the length of the string needs to be determined at runtime.</p>

<p>here is what i am doing:</p>

<pre><code>suffix = "".join([' ' for x in range(0, max)])
</code></pre>

<p>There must be a <strong>better</strong> way, a more <strong>clever</strong> way, and an <strong>easier</strong> way. what are the ways?</p>

<p><strong>edit:</strong> well this is simpler then i imagined. there is only the 1 way and it all of the above, heh :)</p>
