Python Pretty Table

Print in table python link

Install pretty table from pip

pip3 install PTable

Add by row

#!/usr/bin/python3

from prettytable import PrettyTable
    
x = PrettyTable()

x.field_names = ["City name", "Area", "Population", "Annual Rainfall"]

x.add_row(["Adelaide", 1295, 1158259, 600.5])
x.add_row(["Brisbane", 5905, 1857594, 1146.4])
x.add_row(["Darwin", 112, 120900, 1714.7])
x.add_row(["Hobart", 1357, 205556, 619.5])
x.add_row(["Sydney", 2058, 4336374, 1214.8])
x.add_row(["Melbourne", 1566, 3806092, 646.9])
x.add_row(["Perth", 5386, 1554769, 869.4])

print(x)

And here the result

Generate from CSV

CSV file contains data separated by comma character. Note that the first row consists of table column names.

"City name", "Area", "Population", "Annual Rainfall"
"Adelaide", 1295, 1158259, 600.5
"Brisbane", 5905, 1857594, 1146.4
"Darwin", 112, 120900, 1714.7
"Hobart", 1357, 205556, 619.5
"Sydney", 2058, 4336374, 1214.8
"Melbourne", 1566, 3806092, 646.9
"Perth", 5386, 1554769, 869.4

How to

from prettytable import from_csv
    
with open("data.csv", "r") as fp: 
    x = from_csv(fp)
    
print(x)

Generate from database cursor

SQL file

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Cities;

CREATE TABLE Cities(Id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, Name TEXT, Area INTEGER, 
    Population INTEGER, Rainfall REAL);

INSERT INTO Cities(Name, Area, Population, Rainfall) VALUES("Adelaide", 1295, 1158259, 600.5);
INSERT INTO Cities(Name, Area, Population, Rainfall) VALUES("Brisbane", 5905, 1857594, 1146.4);
INSERT INTO Cities(Name, Area, Population, Rainfall) VALUES("Darwin", 112, 120900, 1714.7);
INSERT INTO Cities(Name, Area, Population, Rainfall) VALUES("Hobart", 1357, 205556, 619.5);
INSERT INTO Cities(Name, Area, Population, Rainfall) VALUES("Sydney", 2058, 4336374, 1214.8);
INSERT INTO Cities(Name, Area, Population, Rainfall) VALUES("Melbourne", 1566, 3806092, 646.9);
INSERT INTO Cities(Name, Area, Population, Rainfall) VALUES("Perth", 5386, 1554769, 869.4);

How to

import sqlite3 as lite
from prettytable import from_db_cursor

con = lite.connect('data.db')
    
with con:
    
    cur = con.cursor()    
    cur.execute('SELECT * FROM Cities')   
    
    x = from_db_cursor(cur) 
    
print(x)

Generate from HTML

from prettytable import from_html_one
    
with open("data.html", "r") as fp: 
    html = fp.read()

x = from_html_one(html)
print(x)

Sort by

from prettytable import PrettyTable
    
x = PrettyTable()
x.field_names = ["City name", "Area", "Population", "Annual Rainfall"]

x.add_row(["Adelaide", 1295, 1158259, 600.5])
x.add_row(["Brisbane", 5905, 1857594, 1146.4])
x.add_row(["Darwin", 112, 120900, 1714.7])
x.add_row(["Hobart", 1357, 205556, 619.5])
x.add_row(["Sydney", 2058, 4336374, 1214.8])
x.add_row(["Melbourne", 1566, 3806092, 646.9])
x.add_row(["Perth", 5386, 1554769, 869.4])

print("Table sorted by population:")
x.sortby = "Population"
print(x)

print()

print("Table sorted by city in descendig order:")
x.sortby = "City name"
x.reversesort = True
print(x)

Data alignment

Align data value on right or left

x.align["City name"] = "l"
x.align["Area"] = "r"
x.align["Annual Rainfall"] = "r"

HTML output

from prettytable import PrettyTable
    
x = PrettyTable(["City name", "Area", "Population", "Annual Rainfall"])

x.add_row(["Adelaide",1295, 1158259, 600.5])
x.add_row(["Brisbane",5905, 1857594, 1146.4])
x.add_row(["Darwin", 112, 120900, 1714.7])
x.add_row(["Hobart", 1357, 205556, 619.5])
x.add_row(["Sydney", 2058, 4336374, 1214.8])
x.add_row(["Melbourne", 1566, 3806092, 646.9])
x.add_row(["Perth", 5386, 1554769, 869.4])

print(x.get_html_string())

Set a table title

print(x.get_string(title="Australian cities"))
