How to add vertival headers in tabulate?

Question

So I made a table in tabulate and the output looks like this:

But I want it to look like this:

So how do I do that ?

this is my code:

from tabulate import tabulate

nums = {"Numbers": [0, 3.5, " ", -2, " "], "Seconds": [" ", " ", 24, " ", 3]}
print(
    tabulate(nums, tablefmt="grid", headers=nums.keys(), colalign=("center", "center"))
)

I will appreciate any help, thx.

Answer 1

Can you try with the following input:

nums = [["Numbers", 0, 3.5, " ", -2, " "], ["Seconds", " ", " ", 24, " ", 3]]

and by removing the headers=nums.keys() argument ?

Edit: if your input is a dictionary as you shown, you can transform it into a list of lists as above:

from tabulate import tabulate
nums = {"Numbers": [0, 3.5, " ", -2, " "], "Seconds": [" ", " ", 24, " ", 3]}
print(
    tabulate([[k]+nums[k] for k in nums], tablefmt="grid", colalign=("center", "center"))
)
