Right align user input in python

Question

Im given a question where I have to ask the user for his/her address then split to a new line where there is a comma in the address. After doing that align the whole thing to right, ive been trying to figure this out but I can only do one of the 2, split or align. This is my code:

def Q5():
    str = input("Enter your address (separate lines with comma) :\n")

    for c in str:
        print(c, end="")
        if(c == ","):
            print("")


    #print (str.rjust(50))

Q5()

Please help me fix this. Thanks in advance

okay so what I exactly want is, try remove the entire for loop and remove the comment from the commented line. When you print the input will be aligned to the right, but what I also want is the input to be aligned to the right and also there should be a new line each time there is a comma in the string. — Salman Fazal

Hint: take a look at the str.split() method. BTW, please don't use str as a variable name as that shadows the built-in str type. — PM 2Ring

Python has a split function, which takes the splitting character as an argument:

x = "this,is,a,string"
split_string = x.split(",")
print split_string

returns

['this', 'is', 'a', 'string']

which is an array that contains all of the words. You want to right-align all of them, so that would be

right_aligned = [str.rjust(50) for str in split_string]

Then these can be joined by newlines:

"\n".join(right_aligned)

returns
