How to use tabulate to format number with thousand separator and right align












0















I am using tabulate (https://pypi.org/project/tabulate/) and I want to format a number column with thousand separator and right align it. This is what I have done and it doesn't right align my column.



import pandas as pd
rom tabulate import tabulate

df = pd.DataFrame([{'size':225612466, 'path': '/etc'}, {'size':66, 'path': '/home'}])
df['size'] = df['size'].apply(lambda x: "{:,}".format(x).rjust(15))
print(tabulate(df, headers='keys', tablefmt='psql', showindex=False))

+--------+-------------+
| path | size |
|--------+-------------|
| /etc | 225,612,466 |
| /home | 66 |
+--------+-------------+


I would like it to be like this:



+--------+-----------------+
| path | size |
|--------+-----------------|
| /etc | 225,612,466 |
| /home | 66 |
+--------+-----------------+


Thanks,

          I guess the missing parameter in tabulate is numalign="right" but you have to get rid of manual rjust which changes the values to str:



          import pandas as pd
          rom tabulate import tabulate

          df = pd.DataFrame([{'size':225612466, 'path': '/etc'}, {'size':66, 'path': '/home'}])
          print(tabulate(df, headers='keys', tablefmt='psql', showindex=False, numalign="right"))


          Gives output:



          +--------+-----------+
          | path | size |
          |--------+-----------|
          | /etc | 225612466 |
          | /home | 66 |
          +--------+-----------+


          If you want to keep the thousands separators you have to keep the formatting and align strings to the rigth using stralign:



          print(tabulate(df, headers='keys', tablefmt='psql', showindex=False, stralign="right"))

          • This really should be another question. And you should have demonstrated some effort of solving the issue. An obvious thing you can try is you can pad your paths on the right so that they appear left-aligned.
