Aligning strings in subsequent lines in Python

Question

I am trying to print something out in the console and want to make sure it is aligned properly. What I am getting is:

enter image description here

But what I want is for the Location.... to be all aligned. Not sure how to fix this. My code is:

print("{:>7}{:>60}".format(date, longitude))

Your format string specifies a minimum width of 7 characters for date, but strings like "Sunday 14 December 2014 at 09.53 PM" are far longer and appear with their natural length. Replace 7 with an appropriate large number (at least the maximum possible length of the date string) to obtain the padding you want.
