Travel times for conference speakers

A common use of tuples is as records. And of course, displaying those records in a table is a standard thing for programs to do. In this exercise, we’ll do a bit of both: reading a list of tuples and displaying them in table format for the user.

Imagine that we organize a conference on testing and we know from each speaker her name and the time he needs to travel to the conference venue.

speakers = [('Jeff', 'Offutt', 7.85), ('James', 'Bach', 3.626), ('Lisa', 'Crispin', 10.603) ]

Write a format_sort_records function in Python that allows scheduling and returns the following table:

James      Bach        3.63
Jeff       Offutt      7.85
Lisa       Crispin    10.60

This trip planner does not need the level of precision that the entry provides; it is enough for us to have two digits after the decimal point. Also note that the last name is printed after the first name, followed by a decimal-aligned indication of how long each proponent will take to arrive in increasing order. Each name must be printed in a 10-character field, and the time must be printed in a 5-character field, with a padding space character between each of the columns.
