Tablib is a format-agnostic tabular dataset library, written in Python.

Output formats supported:

  • Excel (Sets + Books)
  • JSON (Sets + Books)
  • YAML (Sets + Books)
  • Pandas DataFrames (Sets)
  • HTML (Sets)
  • Jira (Sets)
  • TSV (Sets)
  • ODS (Sets)
  • CSV (Sets)
  • DBF (Sets)

Note that tablib purposefully excludes XML support. It always will. (Note: This is a joke. Pull requests are welcome.)

Tablib documentation is graciously hosted on https://tablib.readthedocs.io

It is also available in the docs directory of the source distribution.

Make sure to check out Tablib on PyPI!

History

3.1.0 (2021-10-26)

Improvements

  • Add support for Python 3.10 (#504).
  • The csv, xls, and xlsx formats gained support for the skip_lines keyword argument for their import_set() method to be able to skip the nth first lines of a read file (#497).

Bugfixes

  • Avoided mutable parameter defaults (#494).
  • Specify build backend for editable installs (#501).
  • Doubled sample size passed to csv.Sniffer() in _csv.detect() (#503).

3.0.0 (2020-12-05)

Breaking changes

  • Dropped Python 3.5 support.
  • JSON-exported data is no longer forced to ASCII characters.
  • YAML-exported data is no longer forced to ASCII characters.

Improvements

  • Added Python 3.9 support
  • Added read_only option to xlsx file reader (#482).

Bugfixes

  • Prevented crash in rst export with only-space strings (#469).

2.0.0 (2020-05-16)

Breaking changes

  • The Row.lpush/rpush logic was reversed. lpush was appending while rpush and append were prepending. This was fixed (reversed behavior). If you counted on the broken behavior, please update your code (#453).

Bugfixes

  • Fixed minimal openpyxl dependency version to 2.6.0 (#457).
  • Dates from xls files are now read as Python datetime objects (#373).
  • Allow import of "ragged" xlsx files (#465).

Improvements

  • When importing an xlsx file, Tablib will now read cell values instead of formulas (#462).

1.1.0 (2020-02-13)

Deprecations

  • Upcoming breaking change in Tablib 2.0.0: the Row.lpush/rpush logic is reversed. lpush is appending while rpush and append are prepending. The broken behavior will remain in Tablib 1.x and will be fixed (reversed) in Tablib 2.0.0 (#453). If you count on the broken behavior, please update your code when you upgrade to Tablib 2.x.

Improvements

  • Tablib is now able to import CSV content where not all rows have the same length. Missing columns on any line receive the empty string (#226).

1.0.0 (2020-01-13)

Breaking changes

  • Dropped Python 2 support
  • Dependencies are now all optional. To install tablib as before with all possible supported formats, run pip install tablib[all]

Improvements

  • Formats can now be dynamically registered through the tablib.formats.registry.refister API (#256).
  • Tablib methods expecting data input (detect_format, import_set, Dataset.load, Databook.load) now accepts file-like objects in addition to raw strings and bytestrings (#440).

Bugfixes

  • Fixed a crash when exporting an empty string with the ReST format (#368)
  • Error cells from imported .xls files contain now the error string (#202)

0.14.0 (2019-10-19)

Deprecations

  • The 0.14.x series will be the last to support Python 2

Breaking changes

  • Dropped Python 3.4 support

Improvements

  • Added Python 3.7 and 3.8 support
  • The project is now maintained by the Jazzband team, https://jazzband.co
  • Improved format autodetection and added autodetection for the odf format.
  • Added search to all documentation pages
  • Open xlsx workbooks in read-only mode (#316)
  • Unpin requirements
  • Only install backports.csv on Python 2

Bugfixes

  • Fixed DataBook().load parameter ordering (first stream, then format).
  • Fixed a regression for xlsx exports where non-string values were forced to strings (#314)
  • Fixed xlsx format detection (which was often detected as xls format)

0.13.0 (2019-03-08)

  • Added reStructuredText output capability (#336)
  • Added Jira output capability
  • Stopped calling openpyxl deprecated methods (accessing cells, removing sheets) (openpyxl minimal version is now 2.4.0)
  • Fixed a circular dependency issue in JSON output (#332)
