Latest Version: 0.2.1

Tabular data as published on the web is often not well formatted and structured. Messytables tries to detect and fix errors in the data. Typical examples include:

• Finding the header of a table when there are explanations and text fragments in the first few rows of the table.
• Guessing the type of columns in CSV data.

This library provides data structures and some heuristics to fix these problems and read a wide number of different tabular abominations.
