Multi Column Printing

In this problem, you are asked to implement a function called multi column print with two parameters: a list L and an integer numcols. The list L has an arbitrary number of items (each item can be any built-in object, such as integer, real, list, string etc.). Your function should display the items in L equally distributed in numcols columns. You should ensure that the columns are neatly formatted and aligned by using string formatting with a suitable field width. Some sample runs are shown below.

>>> from problem1 import *
>>> L = [[1, 2, 3, "abc"], "hello", [10, 20, 30], ’a’, 45, 27, 99, 4.5, 3.14159]

>>> multi_column_print(L, 3)

[1, 2, 3, ’abc’]  hello  [10, 20, 30]
               a     45            27
             99     4.5       3.14159

>>> L = [2**i for i in range(20)]
>>> multi_column_print(L, 5)

    1     2      4      8     16
   32    64    128    256    512
 1024  2048   4096   8192  16384
32768 65536 131072 262144 524288

>>> multi_column_print(L, 7)

    1     2     4      8     16     32   64
  128   256   512   1024   2048   4096 8192
16384 32768 65536 131072 262144 524288

>>> multi_column_print(L, 2)
