Introduction

This Package provides BeautifulTable class for easily printing tabular data in a visually appealing format to a terminal.

Features included but not limited to:

  • Full customization of the look and feel of the table

  • Build the Table as you wish, By adding rows, or by columns or even mixing both these approaches.

  • Full support for colors using ANSI sequences or any library of your choice. It just works.

  • Plenty of predefined styles for multiple use cases and option to create custom ones.

  • Support for Unicode characters.

  • Supports streaming table when data is slow to retrieve.

Usage

Here is an example of how you can use beautifultable:

>>> from beautifultable import BeautifulTable
>>> table = BeautifulTable()
>>> table.rows.append(["Jacob", 1, "boy"])
>>> table.rows.append(["Isabella", 1, "girl"])
>>> table.rows.append(["Ethan", 2, "boy"])
>>> table.rows.append(["Sophia", 2, "girl"])
>>> table.rows.append(["Michael", 3, "boy"])
>>> table.rows.header = ["S1", "S2", "S3", "S4", "S5"]
>>> table.columns.header = ["name", "rank", "gender"]
>>> print(table)
+----+----------+------+--------+
|    |   name   | rank | gender |
+----+----------+------+--------+
| S1 |  Jacob   |  1   |  boy   |
+----+----------+------+--------+
| S2 | Isabella |  1   |  girl  |
+----+----------+------+--------+
| S3 |  Ethan   |  2   |  boy   |
+----+----------+------+--------+
| S4 |  Sophia  |  2   |  girl  |
+----+----------+------+--------+
| S5 | Michael  |  3   |  boy   |

Changelog

Development

v1.1.0

  • Drop support for Python 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6

  • Add official support for python 3.9 and 3.10

  • Added asdict and aslist method on the row object. (Thanks to @Agent-Hellboy)

  • Added from_csv and to_csv methods to export/import a csv file. (Thanks to @Agent-Hellboy)

  • Added from_df and to_df methods to export/import a dataframe. (Thanks to @Agent-Hellboy)

v1.0.1

  • Fixed an issue where appending a column with a header to an empty table left the table instance in an inconsistent state.

v1.0.0

  • Added two new views rows and columns to the BeautifulTable class. Most of the existing methods have been deprecated. Methods of the form {}_row and {}_column have been moved to views rows.{} and columns.{}``(ex. ``append_row is now rows.append). Calling older deprecated methods will now raise a FutureWarning. Special methods such as __len__, __iter__, etc. have also been moved to the respective views. For details, refer the API documentation and the Updated Tutorial

  • The existing styling attributes have also been deprecated. A new border property can be accessed to control all styling attributes affecting the border. Rest of the attributes can be accessed from it’s respective view.

  • Added support for row headers. As a result rows can now be accessed by their keys similar to columns

  • Added two new methods to_csv and from_csv to directly export/import to a csv file. (Thanks to @dinko-pehar)

  • Added BeautifulTable.rows.filter method to generate a new table with only certain rows

  • Added a new shape attribute to the BeautifulTable class which returns a tuple of form (nrow, ncol)

  • Added new attribute BeautifulTable.columns.header.alignment which can be used to have a seperate header alignment. The default behaviour is to inherit BeautifulTable.columns.alignment

  • Updated BeautifulTable.rows.sort (earlier BeautifulTable.sort) method to now also accept any callables as a key.

  • Updated behaviour of BeautifulTable.columns.width (earlier BeautifulTable.column_widths). It no longer overrides user specified widths by default. You can reset it to default by setting it to “auto”

  • Deprecated attribute serialno and serialno_header. User can now easily implement this functionality by using row headers if required

  • Deprecated methods get_table_width(), copy() and get_string().

  • Deprecated constructor arguments and class attributes named sign_mode, numeric_precision, max_width and renamed to sign, precision and maxwidth respectively

  • Fixed an issue where table was malformed if blessings module was used to generate colored strings.

  • Fixed issues with the existing implementation of __iter__, __copy__ and __deepcopy__ which should now work more reliably.

  • Fixed an issue where default padding could not be set to 0. (Thanks to @furlongm)

  • Fixed several memory leak issues by ensuring that all internal objects hold only a weak reference to the table instance.

  • Dropped support for Python 2

v0.8.0

  • Dropped support for Python 3.3

  • Added support for streaming tables using a generator for cases where data retrieval is slow

  • Alignment, padding, width can now be set for all columns using a simplified syntax like table.column_alignments = beautifultable.ALIGN_LEFT

v0.7.0

  • Added 4 new styles, STYLE_BOX, STYLE_BOX_DOUBLED, STYLE_BOX_ROUNDED, STYLE_GRID.

  • Renamed STYLE_RESTRUCTURED_TEXT to STYLE_RST

  • wcwidth is now an optional dependency

  • Updated the algorithm for calculating width of columns(better division of space among columns)

  • Added support for Paragraphs(using \n character)

  • Added finer control for intersection characters using 12 new attributes intersect_{top|header|row|bottom}_{left|mid|right}

  • Added the ability to also accept bytestrings instead of unicode

  • Deprecated attribute intersection_char

  • Deprecated methods get_top_border(), get_bottom_border(), get_header_separator(), get_row_separator(), auto_calculate_width()

  • Fixed an issue with WEP_ELLIPSIS and WEP_STRIP when using multibyte characters

  • Fixed an issue where table would not be in proper form if column_width is too low

v0.6.0

  • Added support for handling Multi byte strings

  • Added support for colored strings using ANSI escape sequences

  • Added constraint where all strings must be unicode

  • Fixed an issue where sometimes width was calculated as higher than intended
