These python commands:

1import pyRestTable
2t = pyRestTable.Table()
3t.labels = ('one', 'two', 'three' )
4t.rows.append( ['1,1', '1,2', '1,3',] )
5t.rows.append( ['2,1', '2,2', '2,3',] )
6t.rows.append( ['3,1', '3,2', '3,3',] )
7t.rows.append( ['4,1', '4,2', '4,3',] )
8print(t.reST(fmt="markdown"))

build this table source code:

1    one  | two  | three
2    ---- | ---- | -----
3    1,1  | 1,2  | 1,3
4    2,1  | 2,2  | 2,3
5    3,1  | 3,2  | 3,3
6    4,1  | 4,2  | 4,3

which is rendered (by markdown) as:

one

1,1

1,2

1,3

2,1

2,2

2,3

3,1

3,2
