⚡ speedtable

speedtable is an ultra-fast, C-based terminal table renderer for Python.
Designed for large datasets and low-latency rendering — with beautiful Rich-style Unicode output.

💡 Perfect for CLI tools, dataset previews, or any place you need fast + styled tables.

🚀 Features

• Blazing-fast C implementation 🔥
• Unicode box-style table formatting (like Rich’s HEAVY_HEAD)
• Bold, colored headers with optional column type labels
• Customizable:
  • Header color
  • Border color
  • Body text color
  • Type label color
  • Title text and color (italicized, centered above the table)

📦 Installation

pip install speedtable

🧪 Example Usage

import speedtable

table_data = {
    "columns": [
        {"name": "ID", "type": "int"},
        {"name": "Name", "type": "str"},
        {"name": "Age", "type": "int"}
    ],
    "rows": [
        {"ID": 1, "Name": "Luke", "Age": 21},
        {"ID": 2, "Name": "Joe", "Age": 45},
        {"ID": 3, "Name": "Alice", "Age": 56}
    ]
}

print(speedtable.render_table(
    table_data,
    header_color="green",
    border_color="magenta",
    body_color="white",
    type_color="red",
    title_text="Test Table",
    title_color="cyan"

💡 Why speedtable?

The Python rich library is beautiful, but may be too slow for rendering large tables in CLI environments.
speedtable gives you the same polished aesthetic — at native speed.
