Programmatically convert pandas dataframe to markdown table

Question

I have a Pandas Dataframe generated from a database, which has data with mixed encodings. For example:

+----+-------------------------+----------+-----------         


        

Answer 1

I recommend python-tabulate library for generating ascii-tables. The library supports pandas.DataFrame as well.

Here is how to use it:

from pandas import DataFrame
from tabulate import tabulate

df = DataFrame({
    "weekday": ["monday", "thursday", "wednesday"],
    "temperature": [20, 30, 25],
    "precipitation": [100, 200, 150],
}).set_index("weekday")

print(tabulate(df, tablefmt="pipe", headers="keys"))

Output:

| weekday   |   temperature |   precipitation |
|:----------|--------------:|----------------:|
| monday    |            20 |             100 |
| thursday  |            30 |             200 |
| wednesday |            25 |             150 |
