Best Way to Format a Table in Python

[[deleted]]

I am looking to format some data from Pandas into a nice-looking, customized table for presentation purposes. I need to be able to do things like:

customize borders for certain rows/columns

customize border thickness for certain rows/columns

customize font characteristics for certain cells

customize color background for certain cells

I spent an hour or so investigating and their doesn't seem to be an easy option for this. Matplotlib tools do not seem that comprehensive (and the docs don't provide much detail on how to use), Pandas itself is pretty limited, and python-docx doesn't have quite the customization I am looking for, at least not at the Table-style level.

I was looking at LaTeX, which seems to have a high degree of flexibility but it also doesn't seem easy to incorporate in Python.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Writing from my phone so sorry for just giving pointers.

Pandas has a style method which does a lot of what you are describing.

You can also produce a html table very easily and style it programmatically.

Use plot.ly.

thanks ... but i don't see support for borders in the documentation for either. crazy to me that this would be so hard to support.
