TableLogger is a handy Python utility for logging tabular data into a console or a file.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need lightweight tabular logging and accept the GPL 2.0 copyleft constraint. The package is stable and low-friction to install, but dormant maintenance means no active support for modern Python versions or bug fixes. Suitable for internal tools and GPL-compatible projects; avoid in proprietary codebases due to license incompatibility.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low friction installation with a single runtime dependency (numpy).
- Maintenance is dormant—last release was 2019-08-26 and no commits since 2023-09-29—so expect no active bug fixes or feature updates.

What it is and what it does
TableLogger is a lightweight utility for printing structured data as formatted tables in the console or writing to CSV files. It handles alignment, type-specific formatting (dates, floats, strings), and optional metadata columns (row numbers, timestamps, time deltas) with minimal configuration. The package depends on numpy and is designed for simple tabular logging tasks where you want readable output without heavy dependencies.
The library is in production/stable status but dormant—last updated in 2019 with no active maintenance. It supports Python 2.7 and 3, though compatibility with modern Python versions is unverified. Installation is straightforward via pip with low friction, but the copyleft GPL 2.0 license means any project using it must also be GPL-compatible.
Use it for
- Log experiment results or metrics to console during processing with automatic alignment and formatting.
- Export structured data to CSV files with proper escaping and type formatting.
- Display multi-column status updates in long-running scripts with optional row counts and elapsed time.
- Format and print database query results or API responses as readable tables without external dependencies.
- Create simple formatted reports in batch scripts where heavier libraries are unwanted.
