Using great_tables in spyder

[akboeke]

I am new to great_tables and wanted to try one of the exaplmes (column labels) in spyder. The code does not throw an error, but it does not change anything about the tables (e.g. move one of the columns to the front). I am also not sure where the table should be displayed. I only see a simple table as output in the console.

I would appreciate any help as I would love to use this great tool!

Many thanks in advance,
Annkathrin

Thanks for trying out Great Tables! We haven’t yet tested out all IDEs so that’s why our automatic display isn’t working for Spyder. However you should be able to use .show("browser") to get the table to appear in your default browser.

Check out the API docs of the .show() method here: https://posit-dev.github.io/great-tables/reference/GT.show.html#great_tables.GT.show

Thanks for the quick response! Using .show("browser") works perfectlly in spyder.
