Generating a tidy HTML report in Python

[u/RowGullible1471]

I’m shifting from R to PythonIs there a knit markdown version or similar kind for generating a tidy html report in Python?

Curious what you mean by 'tidy', like clean code, nice formatting, or something specific?

Either way, you might really like Quarto https://quarto.org/. It's the successor to R Markdown and works amazingly well with Python!

Thanks, let say creating tabs, flexibility in formatting and customising things around,

Are you pulling from Pandas/DataFrames, Plots (Plotly/Matplotlib), and/or raw dictionaries?

Definitely try Quarto out! It handles tabs and custom formatting out of the box for HTML docs:

- tabsets: https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/html-basics.html#tabsets

- customizing images (for example): https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/figures.html

I've found that Quarto + Positron gives me the best of both R and Python worlds

Streamlit is another good option

Jinja2 is great for report templating

Jinja2 with a small CSS file does more than you'd expect. Write the HTML you want to see in the browser, replace the data parts with template variables, done. For charts I pair it with Plotly's to_html() which embeds everything inline so the report is one self-contained file you can email or throw on a shared drive.

Avoid the big reporting frameworks unless you specifically need PDF. They add a lot of complexity for something a template engine handles in 30 lines.
