Tablib is a format-agnostic tabular dataset library, written in Python. It is a full python module which doubles as a CLI application for quick dataset conversions.
Formats supported:
JSON
YAML
Excel
CSV
At this time, Tablib supports the export of it’s powerful Dataset object instances into any of the above formats. Import is underway.
Please note that tablib purposefully excludes XML support. It always will.
Features
Populate fresh data files:
headers = ('first_name', 'last_name', 'gpa')
data = [
('John', 'Adams', 4.0),
('George', 'Washington', 2.6),
('Henry', 'Ford', 2.3)
]
data = tablib.Dataset(*data, headers=headers)
# Establish file location and save
data.save('test.xls')
Intelligently add new rows:
data.append('Bob', 'Dylan', 3.2)
print data.headers
# >>> ('first_name', 'last_name', 'gpa')
Slice rows:
print data[0:1]
# >>> [('John', 'Adams', 4.0), ('George', 'Washington', 2.6)]
Slice columns by header:
print data['first_name'] # >>> ['John', 'George', 'Henry']
Manipulate rows by index:
del data[0]
print data[0:1]
# >>> [('George', 'Washington', 2.6), ('Henry', 'Ford', 2.3)]
