Build the table from a dictionary:

 1In [1]: import pyRestTable
 2
 3In [2]: pyRestTable.__version__
 4Out[2]: '2020.0.8.dev5+g2e1eee2'
 5
 6In [3]: t = pyRestTable.Table(dict(x=[1], y=[2]))
 7
 8In [4]: print(t.reST())
 9= =
10x y
11= =
121 2
13= =

which displays as:

x

y

1

2

The same table may be rendered in the grid reST format:

1In [8]: print(t.reST(fmt='grid'))
2
3+---+---+
4| x | y |
5+===+===+
6| 1 | 2 |
7+---+---+

which displays as:

x

y

The same table may be rendered in the list-table reST format:

 1In [9]: print(t.reST(fmt='list-table'))
 2
 3.. list-table::
 4   :header-rows: 1
 5   :widths: 1 1
