Examples

Write tables

Write a Markdown table

Sample Code:
import pytablewriter

writer = pytablewriter.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()
Output:
# example_table
|int|float|str |bool |  mix   |          time          |

Write a Markdown table with a margin
Sample Code:
import pytablewriter

writer = pytablewriter.MarkdownTableWriter()
writer.table_name = "write example with a margin"
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.margin = 1  # add a whitespace for both sides of each cell

writer.write_table()
Output:
# write example with a margin
| int | float | str  | bool  |   mix    |           time           |
|----:|------:|------|-------|---------:|--------------------------|
|   0 |  0.10 | hoge | True  |        0 | 2017-01-01 03:04:05+0900 |

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, 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))

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:
multi_byte_char_table
