   pip install pytextable

2. Import

   import pytextable

3. Create a latex table from your data :)

   pytextable.write(data, "table.tex")

Example

import pytextable

# This is usually your 2d numpy array or any sequence of sequences
DATA = [[1.2346, 1, 1.2346], [1.2346, 1.2346, 1.2346], [1.2346, 1.2346, 1.2346]]

>>> pytextable.tostring(
    DATA,
    fmt=".3f",
    header=("first", "second", "third"),
    caption="My fancy pytextable",
    label="tab:pytextable",
)
r"""
\begin{table}
    \centering
    \caption{My fancy pytextable}
    \label{tab:pytextable}
    \begin{tabular}{ccc}
        \toprule
        first & second & third \\
        \midrule
        1.235 & 1.000 & 1.235 \\
        1.235 & 1.235 & 1.235 \\
        1.235 & 1.235 & 1.235 \\
        \bottomrule
