Introduction

Make Kenneth Reitz's tablib available to PlominoUtils.

Installation

Include plomino.tablib in the eggs section of your buildout:

eggs =
    ...
    plomino.tablib

The package has not yet been released to PyPI, so you'll need to check out the egg from github.

When this package is present, the dataset function is available to Plomino formulas.

Examples:

# Create a table from a list of lists:
mytable = dataset([[1,2], [3,4]])

# Create a table and specify headers:
mytable = dataset([[1,2], [3,4]], headers=['col1', 'col2'])

# Create a table from a list of dicts (sets headers):
mytable = dataset([{'col1': 1, 'col2': 2]}, {'col1': 3, 'col2': 4}])

# Get the table as CSV or JSON:
mytable.csv
mytable.json

# Get the table as HTML or Excel:
mytable.html
mytable.xls
