Column or Row span

[digitronik]

I wont read code... but as per documentation beautifultable not supporting span

I am searching for spanning (row and column); for creating complex table in python cli tools.

By span, you mean having a cell span multiple rows or columns right? It's not supported yet. However you can have tables within table which can be used to have a similar effect.

@pri22296 the work around is most ugly. For me it would be sufficient to have one header column spanning all columns as a "title".

Here is a workaround that works if the title fits (even number of chars i assume:

class PrettyTable:
   # construct me with the given title column headers and maxWidth of table
   def __init__(self,title,column_headers,maxWidth=80):
      self.title=title
      self.table=BeautifulTable(maxWidth,BeautifulTable.ALIGN_LEFT)
      self.table.column_headers=column_headers

   def append(self,row):
      self.table.append_row(row)

   # print with title
   def doprint(self):
      self.table._calculate_column_widths()
      topline=self.table._get_horizontal_line("-","+","-","+")
      print (topline)
      spc=math.floor((len(topline)-2-len(self.title))/2)
      print ("%s%s%s%s%s" % ("|"," "*spc,self.title," "*spc,"|"))
      print (self.table)

Example:

[digitronik]

@WolfgangFahl for now at least, I moved on dashtable. I love bueutifultable and planning to add row and column spanning.

[digitronik]

adding one more example for better planning...
