What is a convenient way to create a table in python?

I would like to output the table as a diagram in python.
CSV output is possible, but line breaks and column width operations are also required in the line. Considering the trouble of editing later, I would like to create a table as an image.
Is there any convenient (easy) way?

It is not an image, but there is a texttable module to display the table on the terminal.You can also set line breaks and column widths in the row.

table=Texttable()
table.set_cols_align(["l", "r", "c"])
table.set_cols_value(["t", "m", "b"])
table.add_rows([[["Name", "Age", "Nickname"], 
                 "Mr\nXavier\nHuon", 32, "Xav'",
                 ["Mr\nBaptiste\nClement", 1, "Baby" ] ])
print table.draw() + "\n"

table = Textable()
table.set_deco (Texttable.HEADER)
table.set_cols_dtype(['t',#text'] 
                      'f', #float(decimal)
                      'e', #float(exponent)
                      'i', #integer
                      'a'])#automatic
table.set_cols_align(["l", "r", "r", "r", "l"])
table.add_rows([["text", "float", "exp", "int", "auto"],
                ["abcd", "67", 654, 89, 128.001],
                ["efghijk", 67.5434, .654, 89.6, 1280000000000000000.00023],
                ["lmn", 5e-78, 5e-78, 89.4, .000000000000128],
                ["opqrstu", .023,5e+78,92,128000000000000000000000000]])
print table.draw()

Result:

+------------------------------+

| Xavier | 32 | |
| Huon | | Xav' |
+----------+-----+----------+

| Baptiste | 1 | |
| Clement | | Baby |
+----------+-----+----------+

text float exp int auto

I think it will be easier to print to several formats by going through pandas.DataFrame, but it doesn't seem to print directly to the image.

How to save the Pandas dataframe/series data as a figure?
But as stated,

Output on LaTeX and convert to pdflatex
Convert to HTML and use phantom.js etc.

What about

You can output it as an image from matplotlib by doing the following:
However, if you print it as an image, adjusting the width of the column will be rather troublesome.

import pandas as pd
import pandas.tools.plotting asplotting
import matplotlib.pyplot asplt

df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(5,5))

config,ax=plt.subplots(1,1)
plating.table(ax,df,loc='center')
ax.axis('off')
plt.show()
