Dear orgers,

I would like to programmatically insert a line separator when generating 
a table result. Below is a minimal working example with =python= src block

#+BEGIN_SRC python
   x = [("label 1", "label 2", "label 3"), ("-", "-", "-")]
   x.append((4, 5, 6))
   x.append((7, 8, 9))
   return (x)
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
| label 1 | label 2 | label 3 |
|       - |       - |       - |
|       4 |       5 |       6 |
|       7 |       8 |       9 |

Is there any possibility to interpret dash as line separator ?

Thanks for your help,
Xavier

    Dear Thorsten,
    
    I would like to be able to do it with =python=... Maybe it is only 
    possible with =emacs-lisp= as you suggest.

      This works for me.
      
      #+BEGIN_SRC python
          x = [["label 1", "label 2", "label 3"]]
          x.append(None)
          x.append((4, 5, 6))
          x.append((7, 8, 9))
          return (x)
      #+END_SRC
      
      #+RESULTS:
      | label 1 | label 2 | label 3 |
      |---------+---------+---------|
      |       4 |       5 |       6 |
      |       7 |       8 |       9 |

      I don't know python and cannot try it out here either ... but it should
      be exactly the same thing:
      
      build and return a list that consists of lists (each table row one list)
      and 'hline symbols (each hline one separator line). Does python have
      lists and symbols? The latter probably not...
      
      This could be your strategy:
      1. build and return a string in (named) python src-block that contains
         a 'table-list' (rows and hlines)
      2. use that python-src-block as var for and elisp src-block:
         #+header: :var lst=myPythonBlock
      3. read-from-string that list in emacs-lisp
         (read-from-string lst)
      4. return the car from the result in source-block
      
      #+name: myPythonBlock
      #+begin_src emacs-lisp   # should be python
       (concat "((1 2 3) hline (4 5 6)"
               " (a b c) hline (e f g))")
      #+end_src
      
      #+results: myPythonBlock
      : ((1 2 3) hline (4 5 6) (a b c) hline (e f g))
      
      #+header: :var lst=myPythonblock
      #+begin_src emacs-lisp :results table
       (car (read-from-string lst))
      #+end_src
      
      #+results:
      | 1 | 2 | 3 |
      |---+---+---|
      | 4 | 5 | 6 |
      | a | b | c |
      |---+---+---|
      | e | f | g |
      
      
      but maybe a python programmer can tell you how to do it directly from
      python.
