Getting Started
-----
Importing the module:
>>> import TerminalWriter
Creating a title:

>>> import TerminalWriter
Creating a title:

>>> import writer
Creating a title:
>>> print(writer.title_generator("Sample Title", 10))
======================
Sample Title
======================
Creating the layout for the columns, in this case both columns have a width of 10:
>>> writer.column_generator([10, 10])
'{: <10}{: <10}\n'
Also use the column_generator with format to create a column header:
>>> writer.column_generator([10, 10]).format("column1", "column2")
'column1 column2 \n'
Generating a report is using a combination of the functions mentioned about and a list of lists:
>>> data = [["hello", "world"],
... ["goodbye", "world"]]
>>> report = writer.generate_report(writer.title_generator("hello world", 20),
... writer.column_generator([10, 10]).format("col1", "col2"),
... writer.column_generator([10, 10]),
... data)
>>> print(report)
===============================
hello world
===============================
col1 col2
=====================

hello world
goodbye world

If you want to save a report to disk, specify file_name for the display_report or leave it set to None (the default) to write it out to the console:
>>> writer.display_report(report, file_name=None)
===============================
hello world
===============================
col1 col2
=====================

hello world
goodbye world
