Great Tables is a Python library for building beautiful, publication-quality display tables from Pandas or Polars DataFrames using a chainable API. It supports headers, footers, stubs, spanner labels, value formatting, styling, and export to HTML, LaTeX, or images.

Use cases

make publication-quality summary tables from a pandas dataframe
format and style a polars dataframe for a report
add headers, footers, and source notes to a display table
render a styled table as HTML for a web page or notebook
export a formatted table to an image or LaTeX
create presentation-ready tables for journal articles

When to choose

you need polished, human-readable display tables rather than raw dataframes
you work in Python with pandas or polars and want a gt-style table API
you want to embed styled tables in notebooks, Quarto, or HTML reports

When to avoid

you need tables that will be read back as data rather than displayed
you need interactive, sortable data grids in a web app
you are not working in Python
