6.0.0 verified Sat May 09 auth: no python

A Python library for creating Markdown tables easily. Version 6.0.0 supports Python 3.7+ and provides a simple API to generate table strings. Earlier versions had different import paths and API.

pip install markdowntable

Common errors

error AttributeError: module 'markdowntable' has no attribute 'MarkdownTable' ↓

cause Importing the class name instead of the module.

fix

Use import markdowntable and table = markdowntable.create(...).

error TypeError: create() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'header' and 'rows' ↓

cause Calling `create()` without required arguments.

fix

Provide both header (list of strings) and rows (list of lists).

Warnings

breaking In v6.0.0, the API changed from class-based to module-level functions. Importing `MarkdownTable` from `markdowntable` will fail. ↓

fix Use `import markdowntable` and call `markdowntable.create()` instead.

deprecated The `MarkdownTable` class was deprecated in v5.x and removed in v6.0.0. Code using `from markdowntable import MarkdownTable` will break. ↓

fix Migrate to `import markdowntable` and use `markdowntable.create()`.

gotcha The `create()` function expects a list of lists for `rows`, not a list of dicts or tuples. Mixing types may cause errors or incorrect table output. ↓

fix Ensure each row is a list of values matching the header length.
