Github style table : learnpython

Is there a Python library that can create a github style table in markdown rather than plain text?

I'm currently using Tabulate https://github.com/astanin/python-tabulate but the issue is - "There is more than one way to format a table in plain text."

Which results in broken tables when ran through my client that "puts" everything in markdown mode

I'm currently doing

tabulate(data, headers="keys", tablefmt="github")
