Move the headings from top of Cucumber's Data Table to side - Python

Question

I am looking for the ways to change the headings of Cucumber's Data Table to the side. So it will make the feature file readable.

Ordinary way:

| Name | Email   | Phone No. | ......... |
| John | i@g.net | 098765644 | ......... |

It can be a very wide data table and I would have to scroll back and forth.

Desired way:

| Name      | John      |
| Email     | i@g.net   |
| Phone No. | 098765444 |
.
.
.

There are a small number of examples in Java and Ruby. But I am working with Python.

I had tried many different things like numpy.transpose(), converting them to list. But it won't work because the Data Table's format is:

[<Row['Name','John'],...]

This doesn't look like it's related to numpy.

pivoting a list of list is often done with zip(*the_list)

This will return a pivoted behave table

from behave.model import Table


class TurnTable(unittest.TestCase):
    """ 
    """

    def test_transpose(self):
        table = Table(
            ['Name', 'John', 'Mary'],
            rows=[
                ['Email', "john@example.com", "mary@example.com"],
                ['Phone', "0123456789", "9876543210"],
            ])

        aggregate = [table.headings[:]]
        aggregate.extend(table.rows)
        pivoted = list(zip(*aggregate))
        self.assertListEqual(pivoted,
                             [('Name', 'Email', 'Phone'),
                              ('John', 'john@example.com', '0123456789'),
                              ('Mary', 'mary@example.com', '9876543210')])

        pivoted_table = Table(
            pivoted[0],
            rows=pivoted[1:])
        mary = pivoted_table.rows[1]
        self.assertEqual(mary['Name'], 'Mary')
        self.assertEqual(mary['Phone'], '9876543210')
