What's the easiest way to make a table in Python?

Question

I want to create a table with Python that looks like a simple excel table, therefore I have already used the pyExcelerator. But now I thought about just using pyplot.table which seems to be very easy. However, I need to make some changes and I don't know if this is possible in vpyplot.table`.

For example I want to add a cell in the upper left corner and I also want to make two cells beneath the cell t+1 (see the table example below).

So, is it possible to do these changes in pyplot.table or should I better use another way to make tables?

Answer 1

Building a program to generate an table in a image for inclusion into your word document is a bit overkill. Its a lot of added work and completely unnecessary effort. Make the table in Excel and then paste it into Word. It'll look good and will be easier to update and change.

If you are using this as an excuse to learn something new, that is all well and good, but you need to give us more to help you with. SO isn't a code factory. Offer up what you have tried, and samples of code you are having trouble with. We can help with that.
