pptable

Prints data as a table assuming that data is a list of dictionaries

At the moment it assumes that dictionaries are flat (values are primitives, not a dictionary/list)

installation

pip install pptable

example usage

from pptable import pptable
data = [{'slug': u'ams1', 'name': u'Amsterdam 1', 'region_id': 2},
{'slug': u'sfo1', 'name': u'San Francisco 1', 'region_id': 3},
{'slug': u'nyc2', 'name': u'New York 2', 'region_id': 4},
{'slug': u'ams2', 'name': u'Amsterdam 2', 'region_id': 5},
{'slug': u'sgp1', 'name': u'Singapore 1', 'region_id': 6}]

pptable(data)

It will output:

----------------------------------
region_id  name             slug
----------------------------------
        2  Amsterdam 1      ams1
        3  San Francisco 1  sfo1
        4  New York 2       nyc2
        5  Amsterdam 2      ams2
        6  Singapore 1      sgp1

You can choose header columns and the order, for example:

headers = ['slug', 'name']
pptable(data, headers=headers)

The result is:

-----------------------
slug  name
-----------------------
ams1  Amsterdam 1
sfo1  San Francisco 1
nyc2  New York 2
ams2  Amsterdam 2
sgp1  Singapore 1
