Let's assume we have the following text file which is located in tests/sample_data.csv
(reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_galaxies#Closest_galaxies):
Rank,Galaxy,Distance
1,Milky Way Galaxy,0
2,Canis Major Dwarf,0.025 Mly
3,Virgo Stellar Stream,0.030 Mly
4,Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy,0.081 Mly
5,Large Magellanic Cloud,0.163 Mly
6,Small Magellanic Cloud,0.197 Mly
The table is generated by running:
csvtables closest_galaxies.csv
and should produce the following output:
| Rank | Galaxy | Distance |
|------|-------------------------------------|-----------|
| 1 | Milky Way Galaxy | 0 |
| 2 | Canis Major Dwarf | 0.025 Mly |
| 3 | Virgo Stellar Stream | 0.030 Mly |
| 4 | Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy | 0.081 Mly |
| 5 | Large Magellanic Cloud | 0.163 Mly |
| 6 | Small Magellanic Cloud | 0.197 Mly |
Running as a module
# example.py
