Tablib: Pythonic Tabular Datasets ================================= Release v\ |version|. (:ref:`Installation `) .. Contents: .. .. .. toctree:: .. :maxdepth: 2 .. .. Indices and tables .. ================== .. .. * :ref:`genindex` .. * :ref:`modindex` .. * :ref:`search` Tablib is an :ref:`MIT Licensed ` format-agnostic tabular dataset library, written in Python. It allows you to import, export, and manipulate tabular data sets. Advanced features include, segregation, dynamic columns, tags & filtering, and seamless format import & export. :: >>> data = tablib.Dataset(headers=['First Name', 'Last Name', 'Age']) >>> map(data.append, [('Kenneth', 'Reitz', 22), ('Bessie', 'Monke', 21)]) >>> print data.json [{"Last Name": "Reitz", "First Name": "Kenneth", "Age": 22}, {"Last Name": "Monke", "First Name": "Bessie", "Age": 21}] >>> print data.yaml - {Age: 22, First Name: Kenneth, Last Name: Reitz} - {Age: 21, First Name: Bessie, Last Name: Monke} >>> data.xlsx Testimonials ------------ `National Geographic `_, `Digg, Inc `_, `Northrop Grumman `_, `Discovery Channel `_, and `The Sunlight Foundation `_ use Tablib internally. **Greg Thorton** Tablib by @kennethreitz saved my life. I had to consolidate like 5 huge poorly maintained lists of domains and data. It was a breeze! **Dave Coutts** It's turning into one of my most used modules of 2010. You really hit a sweet spot for managing tabular data with a minimal amount of code and effort. **Joshua Ourisman** Tablib has made it so much easier to deal with the inevitable 'I want an Excel file!' requests from clients... **Brad Montgomery** I think you nailed the "Python Zen" with tablib. Thanks again for an awesome lib!
