Answer 1

According to my understanding of the question.

Python format tabular output

If you are looking forward for any module Pretty-print tabular data might come handy.

If you want html table try with html module in python.

If you are looking for something else than this, please do mention them.

Answer 2

I'd recommend using jinja2 . It's so simple i don't think i need to explain anything. But say you have a tests folder with an empty __init__.py file inside (your folder is now a python package), you'll need to create a folder called templates and place your html file inside.

Your html file (say report.html ) content would be something like this:

<table>
   <tbody>
     {% for test in test_results %}
     <tr>
       <td>{{test.name}}</td>
       <td>{{test.version}}</td>
     </tr>
     {% endfor %}
   </tbody>
</table>

Now in your python code you'd do something like this when your tests are run:

from jinja2 import Environment, PackageLoader


env = Environment(loader=PackageLoader('tests', 'templates'))
html_report = env.get_template('report.html')
send_by_email(html_template.render(tests_results=dictionary_of_results))

Of course the send_by_email function does not exist and is yours to write. Also your html file is really HTML so you can do anything you'd usually do, inline style and all. jinja2 just makes it possible to customize its content on the fly with the help of template tags and render an HTML string to you use as you wish.
