It accepts pipe-delimited text with headers and rows, then exposes the parsed content as a list of dictionaries (one per row) or as a dictionary of lists (one per column). The package has no runtime dependencies and installs cleanly on Python 3.7 and later.\n\nThe primary use case is converting human-readable table text\u2014such as documentation examples, test fixtures, or CLI output\u2014into machine-readable form. It is designed for simple, well-formed tables. Given that the project is abandoned with no updates since 2022-12-08, it should be treated as a stable but unmaintained utility.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need a simple, zero-dependency table parser for small, well-formed ASCII tables in a non-critical context. The permissive MIT license and low install friction make it low-risk. However, the abandoned maintenance status means no bug fixes or Python version updates will arrive\u2014install only if you can tolerate a static dependency."},"id":"sttable","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sttable","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sttable.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sttable/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2019-11-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sttable","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Parser of string representation tables"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":439914,"position":6650,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.1"}
