Day 69: Make Good Looking Tables With PrettyTable (Module)

robert / / Daily Code, Modules

 

Scripts running in the shell are pretty cool. But sometime you want to display tables that have no real format.

 

The module PrettyTable generates some – well pretty – tables with just a couple of lines.

 

The script takes a dictionary with the sizes of all planets in the solar system.

 

It exports it in a PrettyTable in descending order.

 

# PrettyTable module
# Create handsome tables in your shell
from prettytable import PrettyTable

planets = {"Mercury" : "4879",
        "Venus" : "12104",
        "Earth" : "12756",
        "Mars" : "6779",
        "Jupiter" : " 142984",
        "Saturn" : "120536",
        "Uranus" : "50724",
        "Neptune" : "49244"
        }

# create the table with two colums
size_table = PrettyTable(["Planet", "Diameter (km)"])

# go over every planet in dict and add a row for each
for item in planets:
    size_table.add_row([item, planets[str(item)]])

# sort planets from big to small
size_table.sort = True

print(size_table)

The output looks like this:

 

 

Day 58: Using Progress Bars In The Shell (Module)

robert / / Daily Code, Modules

 

The module ProgressBar generates timed progress bars in the terminal while you execute a program.

 

A progress bar is seldomly really necessary but sometimes it is just neat to display some progress for the user

 

You can find the documentation here

 

An easy example:

 

from time import sleep                          # to use the timer
from progressbar import ProgressBar             # progressbar module


print("Multiplying 987.000 * 1.210.100")        

num = 987000 * 1210100


bar = ProgressBar()                         
for i in bar(range(100)):
    sleep(0.01)
    bar.update(i)

print("Result: " + str(num))

And this is what it looks like in the terminal:
