- Thousand separator for numbers: e.g.
1,000
/1 000
- Configure ouput:
- Write table to a stream such as a file/standard-output/string-buffer/Jupyter-Notebook
- Get rendered tabular text

Adding a column of the DataFrame index if you specify add_index_column=True
:
- Sample Code
import pandas as pd from pytablewriter import MarkdownTableWriter writer = MarkdownTableWriter() writer.table_name = "add_index_column" writer.from_dataframe( pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2], "B": [10, 11]}, index=["a", "b"]), add_index_column=True, ) writer.write_table()
- Output
# add_index_column | | A | B | |---|--:|--:| |a | 1| 10| |b | 2| 11|
- Sample Code
from textwrap import dedent import pytablewriter writer = pytablewriter.MarkdownTableWriter() writer.table_name = "ps" writer.from_csv( dedent("""\ USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 1 0.0 0.4 77664 8784 ?

dumps
method returns rendered tabular text. dumps
only available for text format writers.
- Sample Code
import pytablewriter writer = pytablewriter.MarkdownTableWriter() writer.headers = ["int", "float", "str", "bool", "mix", "time"] writer.value_matrix = [ [0, 0.1, "hoge", True, 0, "2017-01-01 03:04:05+0900"], [2, "-2.23", "foo", False, None, "2017-12-23 45:01:23+0900"], [3, 0, "bar", "true", "inf", "2017-03-03 33:44:55+0900"], [-10, -9.9, "", "FALSE", "nan", "2017-01-01 00:00:00+0900"], ] print(writer.dumps())
- Output

Writers can specify cell Style for each column manually by styles
attribute of writer classes.
- Sample Code
from pytablewriter import MarkdownTableWriter from pytablewriter.style import Style writer = MarkdownTableWriter() writer.table_name = "set style by styles" writer.headers = [ "auto align", "left align", "center align", "bold", "italic", "bold italic ts", ] writer.value_matrix = [ [11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11], [1234, 1234, 1234, 1234, 1234, 1234], ] # specify styles for each column writer.styles = [ Style(), Style(align="left"), Style(align="center"), Style(font_weight="bold"), Style(font_style="italic"), Style(font_weight="bold", font_style="italic", thousand_separator=","), ] writer.write_table()
- Output
# set style by styles |auto align|left align|center align| bold |italic|bold italic ts| |---------:|----------|:----------:|-------:|-----:|-------------:| | 11|11 | 11 | **11**| _11_| _**11**_| | 1234|1234 | 1234 |**1234**|_1234_| _**1,234**_|
You can also set Style
to a specific column with index or header by using set_style
method:
- Sample Code
from pytablewriter import MarkdownTableWriter from pytablewriter.style import Style writer = MarkdownTableWriter() writer.headers = ["A", "B", "C",] writer.value_matrix = [[11, 11, 11], [1234, 1234, 1234]] writer.table_name = "set style by index" writer.set_style(1, Style(align="center", font_weight="bold")) writer.set_style(2, Style(thousand_separator=" ")) writer.write_table() writer.write_null_line() writer.table_name = "set style by header" writer.set_style("B", Style(font_style="italic")) writer.write_table()
- Output
# set style by index | A | B | C | |---:|:------:|----:| | 11| **11** | 11| |1234|**1234**|1 234| # set style by header | A | B | C | |---:|-----:|----:| | 11| _11_| 11| |1234|_1234_|1 234|

- Output

You can use multibyte characters as table data. Multibyte characters also properly padded and aligned.
- Sample Code
import pytablewriter writer = pytablewriter.RstSimpleTableWriter() writer.table_name = "生成に関するパターン" writer.headers = ["パターン名", "概要", "GoF", "Code Complete[1]"] writer.value_matrix = [ ["Abstract Factory", "関連する一連のインスタンスを状況に応じて、適切に生成する方法を提供する。", "Yes", "Yes"], ["Builder", "複合化されたインスタンスの生成過程を隠蔽する。", "Yes", "No"], ["Factory Method", "実際に生成されるインスタンスに依存しない、インスタンスの生成方法を提供する。", "Yes", "Yes"], ["Prototype", "同様のインスタンスを生成するために、原型のインスタンスを複製する。", "Yes", "No"], ["Singleton", "あるクラスについて、インスタンスが単一であることを保証する。", "Yes", "Yes"], ] writer.write_table()
- Output
