python - tableprint.table only works with randomized numbers

Question

I'm trying to practice using tableprint by making a basic table, but I'm finding it difficult to input my own numbers (the only time I can make a table is when the numbers are randomized). Any help is appreciated.

import tableprint as tp
import numpy as np 

m=np.array([1,2,3,4])

n=np.random.randn(10, 4)
headers= ['name1', 'name2', 'name3', 'name4']
tp.table(n, headers) #works
tp.table(m, headers) #does not work

Answer 1

tableprint.table takes a 2D array as first parameter, your array m is only 1D.

data : array_like An (m x n) array containing the data to print (m rows of n columns)

So you need to convert m to a 2D array:

tp.table(m[np.newaxis], headers)

Result:
