Creating a grid

def draw_map(player): print(" _"*5) tile = "|{}"

for cell in CELLS:
    x, y = cell
    if x < 4:
        line_end = ""
        if cell == player:
            output = tile.format("X")
        else:
            output = tile.format("_")
    else:
        line_end = "\n"
        if cell == player:
            output = tile.format("X|")
        else:
            output = tile.format("_|")
    print output, line_end

This code creates a grid except the columns are all lined up underneath each other. Any suggestion on how to align the columns correctly beside each other would be greatly appreciated. This is part of the Dungeon game in the python course.

there seems some problem with the grid try comparing with this-

def draw_map(player, monster, door):
    print(" _"*5)
    tile = "|{}"

    for cell in CELLS:
        x, y = cell
        if x < 4:
            line_end = ""
            if cell == player:
                output = tile.format("X")
            elif cell == door:
                output = tile.format("D")
            else:
                output = tile.format("_")
        else:
            line_end = "\n"
            if cell == player:
                output = tile.format("X|")


            elif cell == door:
                output = tile.format("D|")           
            else:
                output = tile.format("_|")
        print(output, end=line_end)
