ConsoleTable

Python library for printing pretty tables with dynamic cells

Usage

Simple Table

Import and create a table object like this:

from console_table import ConsoleTable

table = ConsoleTable()
table.print_entry("Heading 1", "Heading 2")
table.print_row_separator()
table.print_entry("Cell 1", ("Subcell 1", "Subcell 2"))

Which gives you this:

|     Heading 1      |     Heading 2      |
-------------------------------------------
|       Cell 1       |Subcell 1|Subcell 2 |

As shown above, if one of the cell values provided is a tuple, the cell shall be broken up into subcells.

Table Configuration

You can configure the table using the following parameters in the ConsoleTable constructor:

Parameter	Description	Example Value
row_format	The format of the table row. Cell values are populated in "{}"s	"|{}|{}|"
column_widths	The width of the columns. If a tuple is provided, each int shall be used as the width. If the length is less than the number of cells, the last number is used for the rest of the columns	(10, 5)
subcell_delimiter	The character(s) to separate subcells with	":"
