Menu
I have a nested list of data called new_list from a csv file in python that I need to put into a simple table in a html document.
[['Jason', 'Brown', 'Leeds', '40'], ['Sarah', 'Robinson', 'Bristol', '32'], ['Carlo', 'Baldi', 'Manchester', '41']]
I've managed to write html in the Python console for the table heading but don't know how to reference the content from the list - e.g what to put between the <tr> tags to fill in the rows. This is what I have so far:
display = open("table.html", 'w')
display.write("""<HTML>
<body>
<h1>Attendance list</h1>
<table>
<tr></tr>
<tr></tr>
</table>
</body>
</HTML>""")
Thanks very much in advance!

Simple string and list manipulation.
html = """<HTML>
<body>
<h1>Attendance list</h1>
<table>
{0}
</table>
</body>
</HTML>"""
items = [['Jason', 'Brown', 'Leeds', '40'], ['Sarah', 'Robinson', 'Bristol', '32'], ['Carlo', 'Baldi', 'Manchester', '41']]
tr = "<tr>{0}</tr>"
td = "<td>{0}</td>"
subitems = [tr.format(''.join([td.format(a) for a in item])) for item in items]
# print html.format("".join(subitems)) # or write, whichever
Output:
<HTML>
<body>
<h1>Attendance list</h1>
<table>
<tr><td>Jason</td><td>Brown</td><td>Leeds</td><td>40</td></tr><tr><td>Sarah</td><td>Robinson</td><td>Bristol</td><td>32</td></tr><tr><td>Carlo</td><td>Baldi</td><td>Manchester</td><td>41</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</HTML>
