Examples

Write tables

Write a Markdown table

Sample Code:

from pytablewriter import MarkdownTableWriter

writer = MarkdownTableWriter()
writer.table_name = "example_table"
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"],
]

writer.write_table()

Write a Markdown table from `pandas.DataFrame` instance

from_dataframe method of writer classes will set up tabular data from pandas.DataFrame:

Sample Code:

from textwrap import dedent
import pandas as pd
import six
from pytablewriter import MarkdownTableWriter

csv_data = six.StringIO(dedent("""\
    "i","f","c","if","ifc","bool","inf","nan","mix_num","time"
    1,1.10,"aa",1.0,"1",True,Infinity,NaN,1,"2017-01-01 00:00:00+09:00"
    2,2.20,"bbb",2.2,"2.2",False,Infinity,NaN,Infinity,"2017-01-02 03:04:05+09:00"
    3,3.33,"cccc",-3.0,"ccc",True,Infinity,NaN,NaN,"2017-01-01 00:00:00+09:00"
    """))
df = pd.read_csv(csv_data, sep=',')

writer = MarkdownTableWriter()
writer.from_dataframe(df)
writer.write_table()

Output:

| i | f  | c  | if |ifc|bool |  inf   |nan|mix_num |          time           |
|--:|---:|----|---:|---|-----|--------|---|-------:|-------------------------|
|  1|1.10|aa  | 1.0|  1|True |Infinity|NaN|       1|2017-01-01 00:00:00+09:00|
|  2|2.20|bbb | 2.2|2.2|False|Infinity|NaN|Infinity|2017-01-02 03:04:05+09:00|
|  3|3.33|cccc|-3.0|ccc|True |Infinity|NaN|     NaN|2017-01-01 00:00:00+09:00|

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|

Write a markdown table from a space-separated values

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

Get rendered tabular text as str

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:

|int|float|str |bool |  mix   |          time          |
|--:|----:|----|-----|-------:|------------------------|
|  0| 0.10|hoge|True |       0|2017-01-01 03:04:05+0900|
|  2|-2.23|foo |False|        |2017-12-23 45:01:23+0900|
|  3| 0.00|bar |True |Infinity|2017-03-03 33:44:55+0900|
|-10|-9.90|    |False|     NaN|2017-01-01 00:00:00+0900|

Configure table styles

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**_|

Rendering result

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|

Make tables for specific applications

Create Elasticsearch index and put data

Sample Code:

import datetime
import json

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
import pytablewriter as ptw

es = Elasticsearch(hosts="localhost:9200")

writer = ptw.ElasticsearchWriter()
writer.stream = es
writer.index_name = "es writer example"
writer.headers = [
    "str", "byte", "short", "int", "long", "float", "date", "bool", "ip",
]
writer.value_matrix = [
    [
        "abc", 100, 10000, 2000000000, 200000000000, 0.1,
        datetime.datetime(2017, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), True, "127.0.0.1",
    ],
    [
        "def", -10, -1000, -200000000, -20000000000, 100.1,
        datetime.datetime(2017, 6, 5, 4, 5, 2), False, "::1",
    ],
]

# delete existing index ---
es.indices.delete(index=writer.index_name, ignore=404)

# create an index and put data ---
writer.write_table()

# display the result ---
es.indices.refresh(index=writer.index_name)

print("----- mappings -----")
response = es.indices.get_mapping(index=writer.index_name, doc_type="table")
print("{}\n".format(json.dumps(response, indent=4)))

print("----- documents -----")
response = es.search(
    index=writer.index_name,
    doc_type="table",
    body={
        "query": {"match_all": {}}
    }
)
for hit in response["hits"]["hits"]:
    print(json.dumps(hit["_source"], indent=4))

Output:

Table formatting for Jupyter Notebook

Multibyte charater support

Write a table using multibyte character

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:

Output of multi-byte character table
