  Description     : Python library for formatted text tables

PLTable is a Python table-formatting library derived from PTable, which in
turn originated as a fork of PrettyTable.

PLTable provides functionality that is not available in the currently
packaged PrettyTable implementation, including additional Unicode
table-rendering support and additional output/export functionality.

In particular, PLTable provides the `UNICODE_LINES` table style and the
`BOX_CHARS` API, which are not provided by the current PrettyTable package.

The latest upstream release is version 1.1.0, released on 21 November 2023.

The source distribution is available from PyPI:

https://pypi.org/project/PLTable/

PLTable is distributed under the BSD 3-Clause license.

There is currently no Debian package for PLTable and no existing RFP/ITP
for this software is known to the submitter.

Please consider packaging PLTable for Debian, preferably as the
`python3-pltable` binary package.

The upstream PLTable 1.1.0 metadata declares no runtime dependencies
(`Requires-Dist` is absent). The package is therefore self-contained
with respect to Python runtime dependencies.
