[Python] Problems creating PDF with tables and multicells in FPDF Python

I am trying to create a table with the FPDF library that is capable of expanding the height of the cells when the text is very large.

I am going to show the code that I have, which is the same that appears on the official documentation page:

from fpdf import FPDF

data = (
("First name", "Last name", "Age", "City"),
("Jules", "Smith", "34", "San Juan"),
("Mary", "Ramos", "45", "Orlando"),
("Carlson", "Banks", "19", "Los Angeles"),
("Lucas", "Cimon", "31", "Saint-Mahturin-sur-Loire udfhisudhf fughdiufhg fduihgsdiufg dfghsdifugh fdiguhdsfiug fdughdifugh dfhgsdiufhg"),
)

pdf = FPDF()
pdf.add_page()
pdf.set_font("Times", size=10)
line_height = pdf.font_size * 2.5
col_width = pdf.epw / 4
for row in data:
for datum in row:
pdf.multi_cell(col_width, line_height, datum, border=1, ln=3)
pdf.ln(line_height)
pdf.output('table_with_cells.pdf')


this is the result:



The last column of the last row is taller because it has more content, that's fine, but I would like the height of all columns in that row to be the same dynamically. Something like this:



How can I get it?

Note: The data that will be in the table comes from the database, so I can't know exactly the length of each string
