When I print my list instead of using the names in the list the output shows the index numbers. Python 2D-Lists

Here is my code the lists are where Im having issues. Im new to python and I do not understand how 2D-lists work but I need to add then in to the program for a grade. Any help will be appreciated.

#Define Vars
import locale
locale.setlocale( locale.LC_ALL, '')

order_total = 0.0
price = 3.5
fmt_price = locale.currency(price, grouping=True)
qty = int(0)

#cookie list
cookie_list = list()
cookie_list = "Savannah Thin-Mints Tag-a-longs Peanut-Butter Sandwich".split()


order_list = list()


#cookie choices

def disp_items():
print("Please choose one of our flavours. Enter the item number to choose")
for c in range(len(cookie_list)):
print(". t".format(c+1, cookie_list[c]))

print()

#Menu Choices

def disp_menu():
choice_list = ["a", "d", "m", "q"]

while True:
print("nWhat would you like to do?")
print("a = add an item")
print("d = delete an item")
print("m = display the meal so far")
print("q = quit")
choice = input("nmake a selection: ")

if choice in choice_list:
return choice
else:
print("I dont't understand that entry. Please Try again.")

# Math Function**********************

def calc_tot(qty):
#this function is qty * price
return qty * 3.5





def disp_order():
print("nGirl Scout Cookie Order for", cust)
print()
print("ItmtNametQtytPrice")
print("---t----t----t----")
order_total_items = 0 #accumulator
order_price = 0

for c in range(len(order_list)):
detail_list = [" ", 0]


detail_list.append(order_list)

print(".ttt".format(c+1, order_list[c][0], order_list[c][1], price))
order_total_items += order_list[c][1]
order_price += price


print("nYour Order Contains items for total of n".format(order_total_items, order_price))
print("-" * 30)







#ADD Process

def add_process():
valid_data = False

while not valid_data:
disp_items()

try:
item = int(input("Enter item number: "))

if 1 <= item <= len(cookie_list):
valid_data = True
else:
print("nThat was not a vaild choice, please try again.")

except Exception as detail:
print("error: ", detail)


#Valid Qty
valid_data = False

while not valid_data:

try:

qty = int(input("Enter Quantity: "))

if 1 <= qty <= 10:
valid_data = True
else:
print("nThat was not a valid quantity, please try again.")

except Exception as detail:
print("Error; ", detail)
print("Please try again")



#Function call for multiplication
item_total = calc_tot(qty)
fmt_total = locale.currency(item_total, grouping=True)

#User Choice

print("nYou choose: boxes of for a total of ".format(qty,
cookie_list[item-1],
fmt_total))
print()


#verify inclusion of this item
valid_data = False

while not valid_data:
incl = input("Would you like to add this to your order? (y/n): ")
print()
if incl.lower() =="y":

#2-D List
inx = item - 1

detail_list = [inx, qty]
order_list.append(detail_list)

valid_data = True
print(" was added to your order".format(cookie_list[inx]))

elif incl.lower() == "n":
print(" was not added to your order".format(cookie_list[inx]))
valid_data = True

else:
print("That was not a vaild response, please try again")

#Delete function

def del_item():
if len(order_list) == 0:
print("n** You have no items in your order to delete **n")
else:
print("nDelete an Item")
disp_order()

valid_data = False
while not valid_data:
try:
choice = int(input("Please enter the item number you would like to delete: "))
if 1<= choice <= len(order_list):

choice = choice - 1

print("nItem . with boxes will be deleted".format(choice +1,
order_list[choice][0],
order_list[choice][1]))
del order_list[choice]
valid_data = True

except Exception as detail:
print("Error: ", detail)
print("Please try again")



#Main program
# Banner

print("Welcome to the Girl Scout Cookie")
print("Order Program")

cust = input("Please enter your name: ")

while True:
choice = disp_menu()
if choice == "a":
add_process()
elif choice == "d":
del_item()
elif choice == "q":
break

disp_order()




disp_order()
print("Thank you for your order")


Here's the output

Girl Scout Cookie Order for *****

Itm Name Qty Price
--- ---- ---- ----
1. **0** 1 3.5
2. **0** 1 3.5
3. **4** 5 3.5

Your Order Contains 7 items for total of 10.5


Under name there should be a name of a girl Scout Cookie and not the index number, how do i fix this?

Many Thanks.

name

When you print the order in disp_order() you should print from cookie_list[c] in the second column. And print the whole item instead off just the first letter.

disp_order()

cookie_list[c]

print(".ttt".format(c+1, cookie_list[c], order_list[c][1], price))


The cookie names are not of equal length, so you'll have to adjust for that.
