Example: The above CSV file is used.
Python3
from prettytable import PrettyTable# open csv filea = open("read_file.csv", 'r')# read the csv filea = a.readlines()# Separating the Headersl1 = a[0]l1 = l1.split(',')# headers for tablet = PrettyTable([l1[0], l1[1]])# Adding the datafor i in range(1, len(a)) : t.add_row(a[i].split(','))code = t.get_html_string()html_file = open('Tablee.html', 'w')html_file = html_file.write(code) |
Output :
