This is what I want to replicate in Python:
These are the names of the variables that store the data:
name_1= "Alex"
name_2 ="Zia"
age_1 = 13
age_2 = 12
game_1= 1
game_2 = 2
favourite_1 ="chess"
favourite_2 = "monopoly"
cost_1= 10
cost_2 =25
total_cost = 25
I want to display this like a table, but I can't, is there a way apart from calculating the spaces between one word and the other to make it fit?
You may use tabulate library of python for this purpose.
For example:
>>> from tabulate import tabulate
>>> value_list = [['Alex', 13,1, 'Chess', 10],
['Zia', 12,2, 'Monopoly', 25]]
>>> column_list = ["Name", "Age", "Number of Games", "Favourite Game", "Cost of Game"]
>>> print tabulate(value_list, column_list, tablefmt="grid")
+--------+-------+-------------------+------------------+----------------+
| Name | Age | Number of Games | Favourite Game | Cost of Game |
+========+=======+===================+==================+================+
| Alex | 13 | 1 | Chess | 10 |
+--------+-------+-------------------+------------------+----------------+
| Zia | 12 | 2 | Monopoly | 25 |
+--------+-------+-------------------+------------------+----------------+
Use tabulate, as mentioned, or Pandas.
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame({'Name': ['Alex', 'Zia', None],
'Age': [13, 12, None],
'Number of games': [1, 2, None],
'Favourite game': ['Chess', 'Monopoly', None],
'Cost of games': [10, 25, 35]})
print(df)
As mentioned above you can use the tabular library like this:
from tabulate import tabulate
table=[['Alex',13,1,'Chess',10],['Zia',12,2,'Chess',25]]
headers=["Name","Age", "Number of Games","Favourite Game","Cost of Game"]
print tabulate(table, headers, tablefmt="grid")
This is what you will get:
+--------+-------+-------------------+------------------+----------------+
| Name | Age | Number of Games | Favourite Game | Cost of Game |
+========+=======+===================+==================+================+
| Alex | 13 | 1 | Chess | 10 |
+--------+-------+-------------------+------------------+----------------+
| Zia | 12 | 2 | Chess | 25 |
+--------+-------+-------------------+------------------+----------------+
