Python has many built-in object types such as str. As an object, there are many methods included that help operate on the string. The method center has the following definition:

str.center(width[, fillchar])
    Return centered in a string of length width. Padding is done using the specified fillchar
    (default is an ASCII space). The original string is returned if width is less than or equal to len(s).

Post back if you need more help! Good luck!!
