Make pandas dataframe looking pretty again

Project description

pretty_html_table - Beautiful html tables made easy

Detailed usage documentation is still in progress The objective of this package is to convert a pandas dataframe into a pretty html table. As of now, 10 colors are available. This package is embedding very nicely with other packages used to send emails. The format is set down to the line item, which allows it to be understood by every email providers (instead of using CSS style).

This is how you can install it on your machine:

pip install pretty_html_table

This is for example how you can convert your dataframe:

from pretty_html_table import build_table
html_table_blue_light = build_table(pd.read_excel('df.xlsx'), 'blue_light')
print(html_table_blue_light)

Why choose pretty_html_table?

It integrates very well with other python packages used to send emails. Just add the result of this package to the body of the email and voila.

Example of an integration with the O365 package

O365

First, we create a function to send an email:

import O365
from O365 import Account

credentials = (o365credid, o365credpwd)
account = Account(credentials)

def send_email(account, to, subject, start, body, end):
    m = account.new_message()
    m.to.add(to)
    m.subject = subject
    m.body = start + body + end
    m.send()

Then we can write the start of an email and the end of the email using the html language:

start = """<html>
                <body>
                    <strong>There should be an table here:</strong></br>"""


end = """</body>
    </html>
    """

Finally we can can pretty_table_html package and send the email:

from pretty_html_table import build_table

html_table_blue_light = build_table(pd.read_excel('df.xlsx'), 'blue_light')

send_email(account
           , 'test@any.com'
           , 'test table'
           , start
           , html_table_blue_light
           , end)

Here are all of the currently available colors:

Light Dark

Additional arguments

Since we created this library, we have added serveral optional arguments that we hope willl help you:

build_table(df, color, font_size = 'medium', font_family = 'Century Gothic', text_align = 'left')

You can now decide on the font, the size and the alignment of the text.
