tablepy usage

the python tablepy package can be used to easily create and render tables. As of right now it only supports rendering lists of lists in tabular form.


it defines the following:

Note

for demonstrational perpaces I will use the input list:

m =[["", "hello", "good by"],
    ["fr", "salut", "aurevoir", "bon jour"],
    ["de", "hallo"]]
tablepy.printTable(table, renderInner=Fasle, filler='')

render a 2d matrix in tabular form. any missing elements will be replaced with the parameter filler. the renderInner parameter will render all the lines inside the table if True. tablepy.printTable(m) will output:

      +-------------------------------------+
      |          hello    good by           |
      | fr       salut    aurevoir bon jour |
      | de       hallo                      |
      +-------------------------------------+
and with renderInner True
     +----------+----------+----------+----------+
     |          | hello    | good by  |          |
     +----------+----------+----------+----------+
     | fr       | salut    | aurevoir | bon jour |
     +----------+----------+----------+----------+
     | de       | hallo    |          |          |
     +----------+----------+----------+----------+
