# markdown-table — markown table generator

License: permissive · Maintenance: abandoned · Downloads: 78.7K/mo

## What it is and what it does

markdown-table is a lightweight Python library that converts data structures into Markdown table syntax. It takes structured input—typically lists or dictionaries—and outputs properly formatted Markdown table strings suitable for inclusion in documentation, README files, or other Markdown documents.

The package has no runtime dependencies, making it simple to integrate. However, it has been abandoned since 2020-12-03 with no maintenance or updates. The codebase remains archived but inactive, and Python version support is not specified, raising questions about compatibility with current Python releases.

Use it for:

- Generate Markdown tables for README files or documentation from Python data
- Convert structured data into Markdown format for inclusion in static site generators
- Automate table creation in Markdown-based reporting or log output

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Generates Markdown-formatted tables from Python data structures.

No. The package is abandoned and unmaintained since 2020-12-03, with no security updates or compatibility assurance for modern Python versions. While the Unlicense permits use, the lack of maintenance and unspecified Python support make it a poor choice for new projects. Consider actively maintained alternatives.

## Install

pip install markdown-table
uv add markdown-table
poetry add markdown-table
