combine terminaltables and prettytables? #37

Closed retsyo closed 7 years ago

retsyo commented 7 years ago

https://github.com/smeggingsmegger/VeryPrettyTable can do more things like excel, for example

  1. get column(s). x.get_string(fields=["City name", "Population"])
  2. get row(s). x.get_string(start=1,end=4)
  3. sort. x.get_string(sortby="Population")
  4. and more

this is useful to extract and display info on a small dos console

So, can terminaltables use prettytables' such function?

or, is there a package for dos console on windows so that we can render big tables, which support

  1. use arrow key to navigate it
  2. support CJK

Thanks

This is out of scope for terminaltables. Terminaltables is more about displaying info from data in your application that you've already parsed, not about reading/parsing data from files.
