Tablib is an `MIT Licensed <https://mit-license.org/>`_ format-agnostic tabular dataset library, written in Python.
It allows you to import, export, and manipulate tabular data sets.
Advanced features include segregation, dynamic columns, tags & filtering,
and seamless format import & export.
::
>>> data = tablib.Dataset(headers=['First Name', 'Last Name', 'Age'])
>>> for i in [('Kenneth', 'Reitz', 22), ('Bessie', 'Monke', 21)]:
... data.append(i)
>>> print(data.export('json'))
[{"Last Name": "Reitz", "First Name": "Kenneth", "Age": 22}, {"Last Name": "Monke", "First Name": "Bessie", "Age": 21}]
>>> print(data.export('yaml'))
- {Age: 22, First Name: Kenneth, Last Name: Reitz}
- {Age: 21, First Name: Bessie, Last Name: Monke}
>>> data.export('xlsx')
<redacted binary data>
>>> data.export('df')
First Name Last Name Age
0 Kenneth Reitz 22
1 Bessie Monke 21

**Greg Thorton**
Tablib by @kennethreitz saved my life.
I had to consolidate like 5 huge poorly maintained lists of domains and data.
It was a breeze!
**Dave Coutts**
It's turning into one of my most used modules of 2010.
You really hit a sweet spot for managing tabular data with a minimal amount of code and effort.
**Joshua Ourisman**
Tablib has made it so much easier to deal with the inevitable 'I want an Excel file!' requests from clients...
**Brad Montgomery**
I think you nailed the "Python Zen" with tablib.
Thanks again for an awesome lib!
