Easiest way to turn a list into an HTML table in python?

Question

lets say I have a list like so:

[\'one\',\'two\',\'three\',\'four\',\'five\',\'six\',\'seven\',\'eight\',\'nine\']

and I want to experiment

Answer 1

Although this has been answered before, here is another solution by using numpy and pandas DataFrame. Since a lot of people are interested in data-science nowadays, I thought solving this using pandas would be fun:

GITHUB SOLUTION:
I have made my solution available at my GitHub Repository which you can also run and explore in Google Colaboratory (I strongly recommend this).

The custom function (generate_html_with_table()) that I used here is available in this Jupyter Notebook.

SOLUTION:
To get your solution run the following:

data = ['one','two','three','four','five','six','seven','eight','nine']
columns = 4                   # Number of Columns
columns_or_rows = columns
column_name_prefix = 'Column' # Prefix for Column headers
span_axis = 1                 # Span along a row (1) or a column (0) first
showOutput = True             # Use False to suppress printing output

# Generate HTML
data_html, data_df = generate_html_with_table(data, columns_or_rows, column_name_prefix, span_axis, showOutput)

OUTPUT:

HTML Generated:
