3rows = int(input("Enter number of rows: "))
4

5for i in range(1, rows + 1):
6    spaces = " " * (rows - i)
7    stars = "*" * (2 * i - 1)
8    print(spaces + stars)

Output

Enter number of rows: 3
  *
 ***
*****

What's going on

We center each row by printing leading spaces and then an odd number of stars: 2*i - 1.
