Pretty print data in tkinter Label

by

Question: tabulate output, displayed in a tk.Label, without to distort the data.

As pointed out in the comments this can be done using a monospaced font.
You have to use the following Label options,

justify=tk.LEFT
anchor="nw"

to justify the table left, and stick it to top left position.

Reference:

enter image description here

import tkinter as tk
from tabulate import tabulate

data = [('id', 'first name', 'last name', 'age', 'marks'),
        (1, 'JohnCena', 'Peter', 24, 74),
        (2, 'James', 'Peter', 24, 70),
        (3, 'Cena', 'Peter', 14, 64),
        (14, 'John', 'Mars', 34, 174)
        ]


class TabulateLabel(tk.Label):
    def __init__(self, parent, data, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(parent, 
                         font=('Consolas', 10), 
                         justify=tk.LEFT, anchor="nw", **kwargs)

        text = tabulate(data, headers="firstrow", tablefmt="github", showindex=False)
        self.configure(text=text)


class App(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        TabulateLabel(self, data=data, bg='white').grid(sticky='ew')

if __name__ == "__main__":
    App().mainloop()
