DataGrid

Tabular Data Rendering Library

This package is composed of two main components. The library, which is the main purpose of this project, and an executable (rendergrid) that uses the library for shell-level access to the library. There are also PHP bindings which utilize the rendergrid script for access to the datagrid from php.

Features

Currently supported features:

  • Sorting
  • Grouping
  • Aggregation of data at group & totals levels
  • Calculated columns: Add new columns derived from raw data.
  • Column formatting

Requirements

Core DataGrid library and rendergrid exec:

  • Python 2.6+

PHP Bindings:

  • PHP 5.2+

Installation

The installation process will install the library in python's site-packages dir, the rendergrid executable in your bin dir, and if you have php installed will attempt to install the php bindings in your php-path.

To install: python setup.py install

Usage (python library)
