It wraps the v4 Sheets API's CellFormat specification, exposing all formatting components\u2014background colors, text formatting, alignment, borders, and more\u2014as Python classes that can be composed and applied to cell ranges. The package also handles worksheet-level operations like freezing rows and columns, setting row heights and column widths, managing data validation rules, and supporting right-to-left text direction.\n\nThe library is designed to work seamlessly with gspread's worksheet objects. You build format objects by instantiating classes with camelCase keyword arguments, then apply them to ranges using functions like format_cell_range or format_cell_ranges. For users working with Pandas DataFrames, a separate dataframe module provides convenience functions to format worksheets based on DataFrame structure. Format objects are composable, comparable, and support set-like operations (union, difference, intersection).","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is stable, actively maintained, has no security vulnerabilities, and solves a real gap in gspread's capabilities. If you need to programmatically format Google Sheets beyond basic data entry, this is the standard tool. The low install friction and permissive license make adoption straightforward."},"id":"gspread-formatting","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gspread-formatting","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gspread-formatting.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gspread-formatting/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-03-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"gspread-formatting","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Complete Google Sheets formatting support for gspread worksheets"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1186386,"position":4250,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.2.1"}
