Tablicate

Tablicate - Python library for easy table creation and output to terminal

Features

• Column-wise justification alignment (left, right, center)

Installation

Tablicate is implemented in pure Python code so installation is super easy. There is no additional library required.

Simply clone using the step below to get tablicate.py.

$> git clone https://github.com/dhanoosu/Tablicate.git

Usage

To use it, import Table from the tablicate module.

from tablicate import Table

# Initialise the Table instance
table = Table()

# Adding column headings
table.add_column("Heading 1")
table.add_column("Heading 2")

# Adding row content
table.add_row(["Content1", "Content2"])

# Print table
table.print_table()

Output:

+-------------+-------------+
|  Heading 1  |  Heading 2  |
+-------------+-------------+
|  Content1   |  Content2   |
+-------------+-------------+

You can also print table directly with

table = Table()
table.print_table(
    [
        ["Name", "Age", "Occupation"],
        ["John", 40, "Doctor"],
        ["Alice", 27, "Nurse"]
    ]
)

Output:

+---------+-------+--------------+
|  Name   |  Age  |  Occupation  |
+---------+-------+--------------+
|  John   |  40   |  Doctor      |
|  Alice  |  27   |  Nurse       |
+---------+-------+--------------+

Justification alignment

The .add_column() method can be fed with an additional justify option to align all cells in the column independently.

Format: table.add_column(text, justify="")
