tktable

tktable is a Python library designed to simplify the creation of beautiful tables in Tkinter GUI applications.

Introduction

Developers using Tkinter often find creating tables natively to be challenging and time-consuming. Importing ttk.TreeView and writing numerous lines of unnecessary code is a common frustration. tktable offers a solution, allowing you to create attractive tables with just a few lines of code, enhancing the simplicity and ease of Python development.

Installation

Installing tktable is straightforward. Simply execute the following pip command:

pip install tktable

Usage

Using tktable is intuitive and requires just a few steps.

Step 1

Import the Table class from the tktable package:

from tktable import Table 

Step 2

Create an instance of the Table class and provide the necessary arguments:

table_headers = ("Name", "Age", "Email")
mytable = Table(root, table_headers)
mytable.pack() 

Step 3

Insert rows into the created table:

row1 = ("Jack", 12, "jack@gmail.com")
mytable.insert_row(row1)
row2 = ("John", 15, "john@gmail.com")
mytable.insert_row(row2) 

Customization Options

Enhance the appearance of your table by customizing it with optional arguments in the Table class constructor.

For example, to make the headers bold:

mytable = Table(root, table_headers, headings_bold=True)

Adjust column width:

mytable = Table(root, table_headers, col_width=100)

Change the font size of the table content:

mytable = Table(root, table_headers, font_size=12)

Modify the font face of the table content:

mytable = Table(root, table_headers, font_face="Times New Roman")

Stay tuned for additional customization options in future releases!

Sample Application

import tkinter as tk
from tktable import Table

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("800x400")

table_headers = ("Name", "Age", "Email")
mytable = Table(root, table_headers, col_width=150, headings_bold=True)
mytable.pack(pady=100)

row = ("Nitin", 18, "ngarg@mail.com")
mytable.insert_row(row)

root.mainloop()

Contributions

Currently, the module's source code is not open-source. After publishing 2-3 more releases, we plan to open-source it. Stay tuned for updates!
