Pretty console printing 📋 of tabular data in python 🐍

About

tableprint lets you easily print formatted tables of data. Unlike other modules, you can print single rows of data at a time (useful for printing ongoing computation results).

Installation

pip install tableprint

Usage

The table function takes in a matrix of data, a list of headers, a width (defaults to 11) and a style (defaults to 'round'). To print a dataset consisting of 10 rows of 3 different columns with the default width and style:

import tableprint as tp
import numpy as np

data = np.random.randn(10, 3)
headers = ['Column A', 'Column B', 'Column C']

tp.table(data, headers)

The header and row functions allow you to print just the header or just a row of data, respectively, which is useful for continuously updating a table during a long-running computation. Also, the banner function is useful for just printing out a nicely formatted message to the user.

The TableContext context manager is useful for dynamically updating tables (e.g. during a long running computation):

import tableprint as tp
import numpy as np
import time

with tp.TableContext("ABC") as t:
    for _ in range(10):
        time.sleep(0.1)
        t(np.random.randn(3,))
