n-sweep/md_tableizer

Converts data to a markdown-formatted table

md_tableizer is a small utility for turning a table of data into a markdown-formatted table.

Currently supports a list-of-lists, Numpy array or Pandas DataFrame as inputs.

pip install numpy
pip install pandas
pip install pyperclip

* see note on pyperclip below

Example Usage:

toy_data = [
    ['Here', 'Are', 'Some', 'Titles'],
    ['Here', 'is', 'some', 'data'],
    ["Here's", 'some', 'more', 'data']
]

# Return the string
tbl = tableize(toy_data)
 > | Here   | Are  | Some | Titles |
 > | ------ | ---- | ---- | ------ |
 > | Here   | is   | some | data   |
 > | Here's | some | more | data   |

# OR copy output to your clipboard
tableize(toy_data, clip=True)

Note:

This module relies on pyperclip by Al Sweigart for clipboard functionality.

Install with pip install pyperclip

From the pyperclip documentation:

On Windows, no additional modules are needed. On Mac, this module makes use of the pbcopy and pbpaste commands, which should come with the os. On Linux, this module makes use of the xclip or xsel commands, which should come with the os. Otherwise run "sudo apt-get install xclip" or "sudo apt-get install xsel" (Note: xsel does not always seem to work.) Otherwise on Linux, you will need the gtk or PyQt4 modules installed.
