I'd like to announce the release of version 0.5.0 of asciitable, an extensible module for reading and writing ASCII tables. This release features a new function to guess the table format from the supported formats within asciitable. This function is now called by default within asciitable.read().
http://cxc.harvard.edu/contrib/asciitable/#guess-table-format Other updates include: - Added support for whitespace (tab or space) delimited tables by setting the delimiter parameter to "\s". - Improved support for RDB tables by parsing the second line which specifies column type and (optionally) width. These values are written out if available when writing an RDB table. - More rigorous checking of format compatibility for several table formats.
