gentabtex – Python helper for creating tables

The bun­dle pro­vides a Python script that in­ter­prets a higher-level lan­guage for spec­i­fy­ing ta­ble con­straints: you write a pro­gram in that lan­gage, and the helper script emits the LaTeX code you need for your ta­ble.
Strong points of the script are in bal­anc­ing the width of columns in terms of the to­tal amount of text they con­tain (but see also the tab­u­lary pack­age), and the de­sign of sparse ta­bles (where rather few val­ues need to be en­tered).
