如何在 email 正文字符串中将列表显示为表格？

Question

I currently have a list derived from a data frame field and want to display that list as a table within a string.

I am stuck on displaying that list as a table within the body string of the email instead of outside.

My ultimate goal is to automatically create table rows from the name list instead of manually creating html script for each individual row/name. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

The list looks like:

names = [John Appleseed, Amy Adams, Robert Feller]

and want to show that as a one column table (without that blank right column):

Names
John Appleseed
Amy Adams
Robert Feller

So far, I have something like:

subject = 'Test'

body = """

hello, here is your email

"""

email_to = ['jackdaniels@gmail.com']


email(email_to, subject, body, email.config, attachment]

If you want an HTML table created automatically:

from tabulate import tabulate

names = ['John Appleseed', 'Amy Adams', 'Robert Feller']
names = [[x] for x in names]

table= tabulate(names,tablefmt='html',headers=["Names"],stralign=("left",))

body = body + table

If you want plain text change tablefmt 'to pretty' or 'simple'
