[Urwid] Draw a table widget

[Oscar]

Hi,

Does anyone know the best way to create a table widget? I just need a
simple table (6 columns x 20 rows) like those you can do with HTML.

Thanks!

I am myself new to urwid, but I assume Gridflow widget might help you here:

That was my first thought, but after looking at it closer I have
some problems with that widget. I would appreciate if someone knows what
can I do to solve them!:

- It arranges each widget in a cell from left
to right and top to bottom, not it columns and rows.
- The width of
each cell is fixed. That means that the entire width of the table is
also fixed in the code. I would prefer to be automatically adjusted
based on the available rows of the terminal.
- I don't see a (easy) way
of adding a LineBox to each cell.

Thanks!

I would use a ListBox or Pile of Columns widgets with equal given
widths or weights for each column to make a table.

Thanks Ian. The following piece of code based on your suggestion does
what I want. However, I'm not sure if the way of getting the width of
the fixed columns, using the pack() method of the Text widget in each
column, is the correct way of doing it (IMHO, looks quite ugly!). Am I
getting it right?

(txt14.pack()[0], header4), header5), 1)

row3 = u.Columns(((htxt1.pack()[0], txt21), txt22, txt23,
(txt14.pack()[0], txt24), txt25), 1)

table = u.Pile((row1, row2, row3))
