toolstr

toolstr makes it easy to create precise str representations of many different datatypes

toolstr has functionality for:

  • formatting: convert numbers, timestamps, and bytecounts to str
  • charting: create data charts using Unicode and other character sets
  • tables: create highly-configurable table representations

toolstr uses many Unicode characters, but can also fallback to ascii when needed.

Install

pip install toolstr

Contents

Formatting

Charting

Tables

Each of the parameters shown below can be mixed and matched to achieve a particular style.

By default numbers in tables are converted to str using toolstr.format_number().

There are also some options visible in a terminal but not visible on github, including:

  • color cells by column or by value
  • separate color control of inner border vs outer border vs header border
  • other rich styles including: bold, italic, and hyperlinks

Table Examples

toolstr.print_tables
