INTRODUCTION
------------

This class is useful for representing a table of data arranged by named
columns, where each row in the table can be thought of as a record::

	name   phoneNumber
	------ -----------
	Chuck  893-3498
	Bill   893-0439
	John   893-5901

This data often comes from delimited text files which typically
have well defined columns or fields with several rows each of which can
be thought of as a record.

Using a DataTable can be as easy as using lists and dictionaries::

	table = DataTable('users.csv')
	for row in table:
		print row['name'], row['phoneNumber']

Or even::

	table = DataTable('users.csv')
	for row in table:
		print '%(name)s %(phoneNumber)s' % row

The above print statement relies on the fact that rows can be treated
like dictionaries, using the column headings as keys.

You can also treat a row like an array::

	table = DataTable('something.tabbed', delimiter='\t')
	for row in table:
		for item in row:
			print item,
		print


COLUMNS
-------

Column headings can have a type specification like so:
	name, age:int, zip:int

Possible types include string, int, float and datetime. However,
datetime is not well supported right now.

String is assumed if no type is specified but you can set that
assumption when you create the table::

		table = DataTable(headings, defaultType='float')

Using types like int and float will cause DataTable to actually
convert the string values (perhaps read from a file) to these types
so that you can use them in natural operations. For example::

	if row['age']>120:
		self.flagData(row, 'age looks high')

As you can see, each row can be accessed as a dictionary with keys
according the column headings. Names are case sensitive.


ADDING ROWS
-----------

Like Python lists, data tables have an append() method. You can append
TableRecords, or you pass a dictionary, list or object, in which case a
TableRecord is created based on given values. See the method docs below
for more details.


FILES
-----

By default, the files that DataTable reads from are expected to be
comma-separated value files.

Limited comments are supported: A comment is any line whose very first
character is a #. This allows you to easily comment out lines in your
data files without having to remove them.

Whitespace around field values is stripped.

You can control all this behavior through the arguments found in the
initializer and the various readFoo() methods::

	...delimiter=',', allowComments=1, stripWhite=1

For example::

	table = DataTable('foo.tabbed', delimiter='\t', allowComments=0, stripWhite=0)

You should access these parameters by their name since additional ones
could appear in the future, thereby changing the order.

If you are creating these text files, we recommend the
comma-separated-value format, or CSV. This format is better defined
than the tab delimited format, and can easily be edited and manipulated
by popular spreadsheets and databases.


MICROSOFT EXCEL
---------------

On Microsoft Windows systems with Excel and the win32all package
(http://starship.python.net/crew/mhammond/), DataTable will use Excel
(via COM) to read ".xls" files.

::

  from MiscUtils import DataTable
  assert DataTable.canReadExcel()
  table = DataTable.DataTable('foo.xls')

With consistency to its CSV processing, DataTable will ignore any row
whose first cell is '#' and strip surrounding whitespace around strings.


TABLES FROM SCRATCH
-------------------

Here's an example that constructs a table from scratch:::

	table = DataTable(['name', 'age:int'])
	table.append(['John', 80])
	table.append({'name': 'John', 'age': 80})
	print table


QUERIES
-------

A simple query mechanism is supported for equality of fields::

	matches = table.recordsEqualTo({'uid': 5})
	if matches:
		for match in matches:
			print match
	else:
		print 'No matches.'


COMMON USES
-----------

* Programs can keep configuration and other data in simple comma-
  separated text files and use DataTable to access them. For example, a
  web site could read it's sidebar links from such a file, thereby
  allowing people who don't know Python (or even HTML) to edit these
  links without having to understand other implementation parts of the
  site.

* Servers can use DataTable to read and write log files.


FROM THE COMMAND LINE
---------------------

The only purpose in invoking DataTable from the command line is to see
if it will read a file::

  > python DataTable.py foo.csv

The data table is printed to stdout.


CACHING
-------

DataTable uses "pickle caching" so that it can read .csv files faster
on subsequent loads. You can disable this across the board with::

	from MiscUtils.DataTable import DataTable
	DataTable.usePickleCache = 0

Or per instance by passing "usePickleCache=0" to the constructor.

See the docstring of PickleCache.py for more information.


MORE DOCS
---------

Some of the methods in this module have worthwhile doc strings to look
at. See below.


TO DO
-----

* Allow callback parameter or setting for parsing CSV records.
* Perhaps TableRecord should inherit UserList and UserDict and override methods as appropriate...?
* Better support for datetime.
* _types and BlankValues aren't really packaged, advertised or
  documented for customization by the user of this module.
* DataTable:
	* Parameterize the TextColumn class.
	* Parameterize the TableRecord class.
	* More list-like methods such as insert()
	* writeFileNamed() is flawed: it doesn't write the table column
	  type
	* Should it inherit from UserList?
* Add error checking that a column name is not a number (which could
  cause problems).
* Look for various @@ tags through out the code.
