table2string

Convert table to string

While there are several libraries available for converting tables to strings in Python, none seemed to meet my specific requirements.

Line Break Support: Easily include line breaks within cells for enhanced readability.
Emoji Integration: Effortlessly incorporate emoji characters into your tables to add visual appeal and context.

Install

PyPI

pip install -U table2string

Custom width and height settings

Width	Example	Description
`<width>`	`10`	Setting `width` (`10`) for the whole table
`(<width>,)`	`(10,)`	Setting `width_1` (`10`) for all column
`(<width_1>, <width_2>)`	`(10, 20)`	Setting `width_1` (`10`) for the first column and `width_2` (`20`) for all other columns
`(<width_1>, <width_2>, <width_3>)`	`(10, 20, 30)`	Setting `width_1` (`10`) for the first column and `width_2` (`20`) for the second and `width_3` (`30`) for the third column

Text alignment

Align	Example	Description
`"<align>"` or `("<align>",)`	`"^"` or `("^",)`	Setting `align` (`"^"`) for all columns
`("<align_1>", "<align_2>")`	`("^", "<")`	Setting `align_1` (`"^"`) for the first column and `align_2` (`"<"`) for all other columns
`("<align_1>", "<align_2>", "<align_3>")`	`("^", "<", ">")`	Setting `align_1` (`"^"`) for the first column and `align_2` (`"<"`) for the second and `align_3` (`">"`) for the third column

ALLOWED_ALIGNS

Align	Description
`` or `*`	Alignment depends on the type. If this is a number and there are no line breaks in this cell, then align to the right; otherwise, align to the left.
`<` or `<<`	All lines are left aligned
`^` or `^^`	All lines are center aligned
`>` or `>>`	All lines are right aligned
`<^`	The first line is left aligned and the remaining lines are centered
`<>`	The first line is left aligned and the remaining lines are right aligned
`^<`	The first line is aligned to the center, and the remaining lines are aligned to the left of the first line.
`^>`	The first line is aligned to the center, and the remaining lines are aligned to the right of the first line.
`><`	The first line is right aligned and the remaining lines are left aligned
`>^`	The first line is right aligned and the remaining lines are centered
