Creating a HTML Table with Python

Question

I'm stuck on creating a HTML Table for this code here. have to try to output all the dir() of list, dict, tuple, str, int, and float in a HTML table with a limit of 7 column per row. I've tried many things and is unable to produce that. I kept getting an internal server error when i try it out. I think i'm doing the tags from for the table or i'm missing something but still haven't figured it out.

#!/usr/local/bin/python3
print('Content-type: text/html\n')
d_list = [] 
d_dict = []
d_tuple = []
d_str = []
d_int = []
d_float = []
for i in dir(list):
 d_list.append(i)
for i in dir(dict):
 d_dict.append(i)
for i in dir(tuple):
 d_tuple.append(i)
for i in dir(str): 
 d_str.append(i)
for i in dir(int):
 d_int.append(i)
for i in dir(float):
 d_float.append(i)
d_list = [d_list[i:i + 7] for i in range(0, len(d_list), 7)]
d_dict = [d_dict[i:i + 7] for i in range(0, len(d_dict), 7)]
d_tuple = [d_tuple[i:i + 7] for i in range(0, len(d_tuple), 7)]
d_str = [d_str[i:i + 7] for i in range(0, len(d_str), 7)]
d_int = [d_int[i:i + 7] for i in range(0, len(d_int), 7)]
d_float = [d_float[i:i + 7] for i in range(0, len(d_float), 7)]
td_list = []
td_dict = []
td_tuple = []
td_str = []
td_int = []
td_float = []
for i in d_list:
 td_list.append(['<td>{}</td>'.format(x) for x in i])
for i in d_dict:
 td_dict.append(['<td>{}</td>'.format(x) for x in i])
for i in d_tuple:
 td_tuple.append(['<td>{}</td>'.format(x) for x in i])
for i in d_str:
 td_str.append(['<td>{}</td>'.format(x) for x in i])
for i in d_int:
 td_int.append(['<td>{}</td>'.format(x) for x in i])
for i in d_float:
 td_float.append(['<td>{}</td>'.format(x) for x in i])
<table>
for i in td_list:
 print('<tr>' + " ".join(i) + '</tr>')
</table>
<table>
for i in td_dict:
 print('<tr>' + " ".join(i) + '</tr>')
</table>
<table>
for i in td_tuple:
 print('<tr>' + " ".join(i) + '</tr>')
</table>
<table>
for i in td_str:
 print('<tr>' + " ".join(i) + '</tr>')
</table>
<table>
for i in td_int:
 print('<tr>' + " ".join(i) + '</tr>')
</table>
<table>
for i in td_float:
 print('<tr>' + " ".join(i) + '</tr>')
</table>

• CDspace: If you're printing the HTML, shouldn't you also be printing the table tags?
• Derek Redfern: Can you post some sample output? Also, @CDspace has an excellent point.

Try this

#!/usr/local/bin/python3
print('Content-type: text/html\n')
table = []
table.append("<table>\n")
for obj in [list, dict, tuple, str, int, float]:
 table.append("\t<tr>\n")
 td = []
 for key in dir(obj)[:7]:
 td.append("<td>{0}</td>".format(key))
 table.append("\t\t"+"".join(td))
 table.append("\n\t</tr>\n")
table.append("</table>")
print("".join(table))

• user3804711: when i run it, it just outputs the first 7 of the dir and then stops and goes to the next class. so i tried putting the object for loop above table = [] so itll create a table for each class and i took out the [:7] thing on the second for loop. this works but now the table is just one long row per table. is there any way to limit it back to 7 but also output all the dir from each class.
