Usage

Here is an example of how you can use beautifultable::

>>> from beautifultable import BeautifulTable
>>> table = BeautifulTable()
>>> table.rows.append(["Jacob", 1, "boy"])
>>> table.rows.append(["Isabella", 1, "girl"])
>>> table.rows.append(["Ethan", 2, "boy"])
>>> table.rows.append(["Sophia", 2, "girl"])
>>> table.rows.append(["Michael", 3, "boy"])
>>> table.rows.header = ["S1", "S2", "S3", "S4", "S5"]
>>> table.columns.header = ["name", "rank", "gender"]
>>> print(table)
+----+----------+------+--------+
|    |   name   | rank | gender |

Changelog

========== v1.0.1

• Fixed an issue where appending a column with a header to an empty table left the table instance in an inconsistent state.

========== v1.0.0

• Added two new views rows and columns to the BeautifulTable class. Most of the existing methods have been deprecated. Methods of the form {}_row and {}_column have been moved to views rows.{} and columns.{}(ex. append_row is now rows.append). Calling older deprecated methods will now raise a FutureWarning. Special methods such as __len__, __iter__, etc. have also been moved to the respective views. For details, refer the API documentation and the Updated Tutorial
• The existing styling attributes have also been deprecated. A new border property can be accessed to control all styling attributes affecting the border. Rest of the attributes can be accessed from it's respective view.
• Added support for row headers. As a result rows can now be accessed by their keys similar to columns
• Added two new methods to_csv and from_csv to directly export/import to a csv file. (Thanks to @dinko-pehar <https://github.com/dinko-pehar>_)
• Added BeautifulTable.rows.filter method to generate a new table with only certain rows
• Added a new shape attribute to the BeautifulTable class which returns a tuple of form (nrow, ncol)
• Added new attribute BeautifulTable.columns.header.alignment which can be used to have a seperate header alignment. The default behaviour is to inherit BeautifulTable.columns.alignment
• Updated BeautifulTable.rows.sort (earlier BeautifulTable.sort) method to now also accept any callables as a key.
• Updated behaviour of BeautifulTable.columns.width (earlier BeautifulTable.column_widths). It no longer overrides user specified widths by default. You can reset it to default by setting it to "auto"
• Deprecated attribute serialno and serialno_header. User can now easily implement this functionality by using row headers if required
• Deprecated methods get_table_width(), copy() and get_string().
• Deprecated constructor arguments and class attributes named sign_mode, numeric_precision, max_width and renamed to sign, precision and maxwidth respectively
• Fixed an issue where table was malformed if blessings module was used to generate colored strings.
• Fixed issues with the existing implementation of __iter__, __copy__ and __deepcopy__ which should now work more reliably.
• Fixed an issue where default padding could not be set to 0. (Thanks to @furlongm <https://github.com/furlongm>_)
• Fixed several memory leak issues by ensuring that all internal objects hold only a weak reference to the table instance.
• Dropped support for Python 2

========== v0.8.0

• Dropped support for Python 3.3
• Added support for streaming tables using a generator for cases where data retrieval is slow
• Alignment, padding, width can now be set for all columns using a simplified syntax like table.column_alignments = beautifultable.ALIGN_LEFT

========== v0.7.0

• Added 4 new styles, STYLE_BOX, STYLE_BOX_DOUBLED, STYLE_BOX_ROUNDED, STYLE_GRID.
• Renamed STYLE_RESTRUCTURED_TEXT to STYLE_RST
• wcwidth is now an optional dependency
• Updated the algorithm for calculating width of columns(better division of space among columns)
• Added support for Paragraphs(using \n character)
• Added finer control for intersection characters using 12 new attributes intersect_{top|header|row|bottom}_{left|mid|right}
• Added the ability to also accept bytestrings instead of unicode
• Deprecated attribute intersection_char
• Deprecated methods get_top_border(), get_bottom_border(), get_header_separator(), get_row_separator(), auto_calculate_width()
• Fixed an issue with WEP_ELLIPSIS and WEP_STRIP when using multibyte characters
• Fixed an issue where table would not be in proper form if column_width is too low

========== v0.6.0

• Added support for handling Multi byte strings
• Added support for colored strings using ANSI escape sequences
• Added constraint where all strings must be unicode
• Fixed an issue where sometimes width was calculated as higher than intended

========== v0.5.3

• Added support for handing color codes using ANSI escape sequences(experimental)
• Fixed collections ABCs deprecation warning

========== v0.5.2

• Added new style STYLE_NONE
• Fixed issue regarding improper conversion of non-string floats

========== v0.5.1

• Added detect_numerics boolean for toggling automatic numeric conversion

========== v0.5.0

• Added new property serialno_header
• Deprecated methods with misspelled "seperator" in their name.
• Fixed an issue where table was corrupted when column_count was too high

========== v0.4.0

• Added predefined styles for easier customization
• Added reverse argument to sort() method
• Fixed enum34 dependency for python versions prior to 3.4

========== v0.3.0

• Added property serialno for auto printing serial number
• Fixed an issue with sign_mode related to str conversion
• Fixed bugs related to python version prior to 3.3
• Fixed exception on WEP_ELLIPSIS and token length less than 3
• Fixed printing issues with empty table

========== v0.2.0

• Added python 2 support
