Please help me, what in the patch is not usual Python? 

There is a "Style Guide for Python Code" PEP 8 [1] from which
I (hopefully) differ only in marginal details. I use the 
pylint [3] which checks PEP8 style, may I switched of to much?
E.g. the "one-liner classes" of mine is not PEP8 style, is this what
you mean? Or is it about the (comma) operators in front of
a new line [2]? Could you give me more detail hints / thanks.

It has no units, it's relativ. Sorry, I implied that it is a common practice
on table layouts [4]:

  """A comma- or space-separated list of relative column widths. 
     The default is equal-width columns (100%/#columns)."""

Sorry, I did it in a hurry because Mauro needs it promptly. I will improve 
myself in the future.

Thanks a lot!

Yes, I will send you a patch later.
