Create table from dictionary python

Question

I was looking for a solution with unknown columns width to print a database table. So here it is:

Nội dung chính Show

def printTable(myDict, colList=None):
   """ Pretty print a list of dictionaries (myDict) as a dynamically sized table.
   If column names (colList) aren't specified, they will show in random order.
   Author: Thierry Husson - Use it as you want but don't blame me.
   """
   if not colList: colList = list(myDict[0].keys() if myDict else [])
   myList = [colList] # 1st row = header
   for item in myDict: myList.append([str(item[col] if item[col] is not None else '') for col in colList])
   colSize = [max(map(len,col)) for col in zip(*myList)]
   formatStr = ' | '.join(["{{:<{}}}".format(i) for i in colSize])
   myList.insert(1, ['-' * i for i in colSize]) # Seperating line
   for item in myList: print(formatStr.format(*item))

Sample:

printTable([{'a':123,'bigtitle':456,'c':789},{'a':'x','bigtitle':'y','c':'z'}, \
    {'a':'2016-11-02','bigtitle':1.2,'c':78912313213123}], ['a','bigtitle','c'])

Output:

a          | bigtitle | c             
---------- | -------- | --------------
123        | 456      | 789           
x          | y        | z             
2016-11-02 | 1.2      | 78912313213123

In Psycopg context, you can use it this way:

curPG.execute("SELECT field1, field2, ... fieldx FROM mytable")
printTable(curPG.fetchall(), [c.name for c in curPG.description])

If you need a variant for multi-lines rows, here it is:

def printTable(myDict, colList=None, sep='\uFFFA'):
   """ Pretty print a list of dictionaries (myDict) as a dynamically sized table.
   If column names (colList) aren't specified, they will show in random order.
   sep: row separator. Ex: sep='\n' on Linux. Default: dummy to not split line.
   Author: Thierry Husson - Use it as you want but don't blame me.
   """
   if not colList: colList = list(myDict[0].keys() if myDict else [])
   myList = [colList] # 1st row = header
   for item in myDict: myList.append([str(item[col] or '') for col in colList])
   colSize = [max(map(len,(sep.join(col)).split(sep))) for col in zip(*myList)]
   formatStr = ' | '.join(["{{:<{}}}".format(i) for i in colSize])
   line = formatStr.replace(' | ','-+-').format(*['-' * i for i in colSize])
   item=myList.pop(0); lineDone=False
   while myList or any(item):
      if all(not i for i in item):
         item=myList.pop(0)
         if line and (sep!='\uFFFA' or not lineDone): print(line); lineDone=True
      row = [i.split(sep,1) for i in item]
      print(formatStr.format(*[i[0] for i in row]))
      item = [i[1] if len(i)>1 else '' for i in row]

Sample:

sampleDict = [{'multi lines title': 12, 'bigtitle': 456, 'third column': '7 8 9'},
{'multi lines title': 'w x y z', 'bigtitle': 'b1 b2', 'third column': 'z y x'},
{'multi lines title': '2', 'bigtitle': 1.2, 'third column': 78912313213123}]

printTable(sampleDict, sep=' ')

Output:

bigtitle | multi | third         
         | lines | column        
         | title |               
---------+-------+---------------
456      | 12    | 7             
         |       | 8             
         |       | 9             
---------+-------+---------------
b1       | w     | z             
b2       | x     | y             
         | y     | x             
         | z     |               
---------+-------+---------------
1.2      | 2     | 78912313213123

Without sep parameter, printTable(sampleDict) gives you:

bigtitle | multi lines title | third column  
---------+-------------------+---------------
456      | 12                | 7 8 9         
b1 b2    | w x y z           | z y x         
1.2      | 2                 | 78912313213123

Given a Dictionary. The task is to print the dictionary in table format.

Examples:

Input: 
{1: ["Samuel", 21, 'Data Structures'], 
2: ["Richie", 20, 'Machine Learning'], 
3: ["Lauren", 21, 'OOPS with java'], 
}

Output: 
NAME AGE COURSE 
Samuel 21 Data Structures 
Richie 20 Machine Learning 
Lauren 21 OOPS with java

Method 1: Displaying results by iterating through values.

Python3

dict1 = {}

dict1 = {1: ["Samuel", 21, 'Data Structures'],

2: ["Richie", 20, 'Machine Learning'],

3: ["Lauren", 21, 'OOPS with java'],

}

print("{:<10} {:<10} {:<10}".format('NAME', 'AGE', 'COURSE'))

for key, value in dict1.items():

name, age, course = value

print("{:<10} {:<10} {:<10}".format(name, age, course))

Output

NAME       AGE        COURSE    
Samuel     21         Data Structures
Richie     20         Machine Learning
Lauren     21         OOPS with java

Method 2: Displaying by using a matrix format

Python3

dict1 = {}

dict1 = {(0, 0): 'Samuel', (0, 1): 21, (0, 2): 'Data structures',

(1, 0): 'Richie', (1, 1): 20, (1, 2): 'Machine Learning',

(2, 0): 'Lauren', (2, 1): 21, (2, 2): 'OOPS with Java'

}

print(" NAME ", " AGE ", " COURSE ")

for i in range(3):

for j in range(3):

print(dict1[(i, j)], end=' ')

print()

Output

 NAME   AGE    COURSE 
Samuel   21   Data structures   
Richie   20   Machine Learning   
Lauren   21   OOPS with Java

Method 3: Displaying by using zip format

Python3

dict1 = {}

dict1 = {'NAME': ['Samuel', 'Richie', 'Lauren'],

'AGE': [21, 20, 21],

'COURSE': ['Data Structures', 'Machine Learning', 'OOPS with Java']}

for each_row in zip(*([i] + (j)

for i, j in dict1.items())):

print(*each_row, " ")

Output

NAME AGE COURSE  
Samuel 21 Data Structures  
Richie 20 Machine Learning  
Lauren 21 OOPS with Java
