Pylsy is a simple Python library for drawing tables in the terminal/console. Just two lines of code!
pip3 install pylsy
# In the very first, pylsy needs to be imported
from pylsy import pylsytable
# First, you need to create a list, which will contain the table attributes:
attributes=["name","age","sex","id","time"]
# Then feed it to PylsyTable to create the table object:
table=pylsytable(attributes)
# Now populate the attributes with values. Prepare a list for the names:
name=["sun","lsy","luna"]
# Add the data into it:
table.add_data("name",name)
# If you want to insert some extra values to the same column,
# you can pass a list as a parameter:
table.append_data("name",["leviathan"])
# Just a single value is OK too:
table.append_data("name",u"小明") # Note: everything will be coerced to unicode strings.
# Now with all your attributes and values, we can create our table:
print(table)
# With Python 2 things are a bit trickier, since str() is ascii-only and our dear 小明 requires unicode:
print(table.__str__()) # The raw unicode-enabled string. Think as `table.__unicode__()`.MIT
