pyexcel-ods - Let you focus on data, instead of ods format

**pyexcel-ods** is a tiny wrapper library to read, manipulate and write data in
ods format using python 2.6 and python 2.7. You are likely to use it with
`pyexcel <https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel>`_.
`pyexcel-ods3 <https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-ods3>`_ is a sister library that
does the same thing but supports Python 3.3 and 3.4 and depends on lxml.
Known constraints
==================
Fonts, colors and charts are not supported.
Installation
================================================================================
You can install it via pip:
.. code-block:: bash
$ pip install pyexcel-ods
or clone it and install it:
.. code-block:: bash
$ git clone http://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-ods.git
$ cd pyexcel-ods
$ python setup.py install
Usage
================================================================================
As a standalone library
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Write to an ods file
********************************************************************************
.. testcode::
:hide:
>>> import os
>>> import sys
>>> if sys.version_info[0] < 3:
... from StringIO import StringIO
... else:
... from io import BytesIO as StringIO
>>> PY2 = sys.version_info[0] == 2
>>> if PY2 and sys.version_info[1] < 7:
... from ordereddict import OrderedDict
... else:
... from collections import OrderedDict
Here's the sample code to write a dictionary to an ods file:
.. code-block:: python
>>> from pyexcel_ods import save_data
>>> data = OrderedDict() # from collections import OrderedDict
>>> data.update({"Sheet 1": [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]})
>>> data.update({"Sheet 2": [["row 1", "row 2", "row 3"]]})
>>> save_data("your_file.ods", data)
Read from an ods file
********************************************************************************
Here's the sample code:
.. code-block:: python
>>> from pyexcel_ods import get_data
>>> data = get_data("your_file.ods")
>>> import json
>>> print(json.dumps(data))
{"Sheet 1": [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], "Sheet 2": [["row 1", "row 2", "row 3"]]}
Write an ods to memory
********************************************************************************
Here's the sample code to write a dictionary to an ods file:
.. code-block:: python
>>> from pyexcel_ods import save_data
>>> data = OrderedDict()
>>> data.update({"Sheet 1": [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]})
>>> data.update({"Sheet 2": [[7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]]})
>>> io = StringIO()
>>> save_data(io, data)
>>> # do something with the io
>>> # In reality, you might give it to your http response
>>> # object for downloading
Read from an ods from memory
********************************************************************************
Continue from previous example:
.. code-block:: python
>>> # This is just an illustration
>>> # In reality, you might deal with ods file upload
>>> # where you will read from requests.FILES['YOUR_ODS_FILE']
>>> data = get_data(io)
>>> print(json.dumps(data))
{"Sheet 1": [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]], "Sheet 2": [[7, 8, 9], [10, 11, 12]]}
Pagination feature
********************************************************************************
Let's assume the following file is a huge ods file:
.. code-block:: python
>>> huge_data = [
... [1, 21, 31],
... [2, 22, 32],
... [3, 23, 33],
... [4, 24, 34],
... [5, 25, 35],
... [6, 26, 36]
... ]
>>> sheetx = {
... "huge": huge_data
... }
>>> save_data("huge_file.ods", sheetx)
And let's pretend to read partial data:
.. code-block:: python
>>> partial_data = get_data("huge_file.ods", start_row=2, row_limit=3)
>>> print(json.dumps(partial_data))
{"huge": [[3, 23, 33], [4, 24, 34], [5, 25, 35]]}
And you could as well do the same for columns:
.. code-block:: python
>>> partial_data = get_data("huge_file.ods", start_column=1, column_limit=2)
>>> print(json.dumps(partial_data))
{"huge": [[21, 31], [22, 32], [23, 33], [24, 34], [25, 35], [26, 36]]}
Obvious, you could do both at the same time:
.. code-block:: python
>>> partial_data = get_data("huge_file.ods",
... start_row=2, row_limit=3,
... start_column=1, column_limit=2)
>>> print(json.dumps(partial_data))
{"huge": [[23, 33], [24, 34], [25, 35]]}
.. testcode::
:hide:
>>> os.unlink("huge_file.ods")
As a pyexcel plugin
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
No longer, explicit import is needed since pyexcel version 0.2.2. Instead,
this library is auto-loaded. So if you want to read data in ods format,
installing it is enough.
Any version under pyexcel 0.2.2, you have to keep doing the following:
Import it in your file to enable this plugin:
.. code-block:: python
from pyexcel.ext import ods
Please note only pyexcel version 0.0.4+ support this.
Reading from an ods file
********************************************************************************
Here is the sample code:
.. code-block:: python
>>> import pyexcel as pe
>>> # from pyexcel.ext import ods
>>> sheet = pe.get_book(file_name="your_file.ods")
>>> sheet
Sheet 1:
+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
+---+---+---+
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
+---+---+---+
Sheet 2:
+-------+-------+-------+
| row 1 | row 2 | row 3 |
+-------+-------+-------+
Writing to an ods file
********************************************************************************
Here is the sample code:
.. code-block:: python
>>> sheet.save_as("another_file.ods")
Reading from a IO instance
********************************************************************************
You got to wrap the binary content with stream to get ods working:
.. code-block:: python
>>> # This is just an illustration
>>> # In reality, you might deal with ods file upload
>>> # where you will read from requests.FILES['YOUR_ODS_FILE']
>>> odsfile = "another_file.ods"
>>> with open(odsfile, "rb") as f:
... content = f.read()
... r = pe.get_book(file_type="ods", file_content=content)
... print(r)
...
Sheet 1:
+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
+---+---+---+
| 4 | 5 | 6 |
+---+---+---+
Sheet 2:
+-------+-------+-------+
| row 1 | row 2 | row 3 |
+-------+-------+-------+
Writing to a StringIO instance
********************************************************************************
You need to pass a StringIO instance to Writer:
.. code-block:: python
>>> data = [
... [1, 2, 3],
... [4, 5, 6]
... ]
>>> io = StringIO()
>>> sheet = pe.Sheet(data)
>>> io = sheet.save_to_memory("ods", io)
>>> # then do something with io
>>> # In reality, you might give it to your http response
>>> # object for downloading

Developer guide
==================
Development steps for code changes
#. git clone https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-ods.git
#. cd pyexcel-ods
Upgrade your setup tools and pip. They are needed for development and testing only:
#. pip install --upgrade setuptools "pip==7.1"
Then install relevant development requirements:
#. pip install -r rnd_requirements.txt # if such a file exists
#. pip install -r requirements.txt
#. pip install -r tests/requirements.txt
In order to update test environment, and documentation, additional setps are
required:
#. pip install moban
#. git clone https://github.com/pyexcel/pyexcel-commons.git commons
#. make your changes in `.moban.d` directory, then issue command `moban`
What is rnd_requirements.txt
-------------------------------
Usually, it is created when a dependent library is not released. Once the dependecy is installed(will be released), the future version of the dependency in the requirements.txt will be valid.
What is pyexcel-commons
---------------------------------
Many information that are shared across pyexcel projects, such as: this developer guide, license info, etc. are stored in `pyexcel-commons` project.
What is .moban.d
---------------------------------
`.moban.d` stores the specific meta data for the library.
How to test your contribution
------------------------------
Although `nose` and `doctest` are both used in code testing, it is adviable that unit tests are put in tests. `doctest` is incorporated only to make sure the code examples in documentation remain valid across different development releases.
On Linux/Unix systems, please launch your tests like this::
$ make test
On Windows systems, please issue this command::
> test.bat
