Creating Table in python

[And1]

I am fairly new to python and am trying to create a table for work. At the moment I use a paper based system with 11 columns. I wanted to see if I could replicate my table in python 3.1.1 The column names are:
1. RMA number
2. Customer
3. Product detail
4. Serial number(s)
5. Date received
6. Fault code
7. Warranty y/n
8. Loan unit out
9. Loan unit in
10. Date returned
11. Invoice + value.

Your help is greatly appreciated

'''
ttk_multicolumn_listbox2.py

Python31 includes the Tkinter Tile extension ttk.

Ttk comes with 17 widgets, 11 of which already exist in Tkinter:
Button, Checkbutton, Entry, Frame, Label, LabelFrame, Menubutton,
PanedWindow, Radiobutton, Scale and Scrollbar

The 6 new widget classes are:
Combobox, Notebook, Progressbar, Separator, Sizegrip and Treeview

For additional info see the Python31 manual:
http://gpolo.ath.cx:81/pydoc/library/ttk.html

Here the TreeView widget is configured as a multi-column listbox
with adjustable column width and column-header-click sorting.

Tested with Python 3.1.1 and Tkinter 8.5
