csvtables 0.3.0

Converts a CSV formatted input to a readable table in text

csvtables

Converts a CSV formatted input to a readable table in text. The table is Markdown compatible.

Usage

Import convert_table to your project and call it with a CSV formatted iterable. This can be a file or a StringIO object. Passing compact=True argument will remove all the unnecessary whitespace from the output, producing a smaller size but less readable table.

Example:

A sample data CSV file tests/sample_data.csv contains a list of fictional people.

Running from command line

csvtables tests/sample_data.csv will produce a table of the data

Running as a module

# example.py
from csvtables import csvtables
csv_file = open("tests/sample_data.csv", "r")
table_string = csvtables.convert_table(csv_file)
print(table_string) # display the table to stdout
