PrettyTable format title

Question

I want to format a title for prettytable with values but I can't.

from prettytable import PrettyTable


name = "table 1"
table = PrettyTable()
owntitle  = "table name is {}".format(str(name))
table.title = owntitle 
table.field_names = ['Experiment', 'Value']
table.add_row(['bla', 3.14])
table.add_row(['baz', 42.0])

print(table)

any suggestions?

Fix your code with

table.title = owntitle

also install PTable before executing your code.

pip install PTable
