Functions

hstack(tables[, join_type, uniq_col_name, ...])	Stack tables along columns (horizontally).
join(left, right[, keys, join_type, ...])	Perform a join of the left table with the right table on specified keys.
represent_mixins_as_columns(tbl[, ...])	Represent input Table tbl using only Column or MaskedColumn objects.
setdiff(table1, table2[, keys])	Take a set difference of table rows.
unique(input_table[, keys, silent, keep])	Return a new table with unique rows, sorted by keys.
vstack(tables[, join_type, metadata_conflicts])	Stack tables vertically (along rows).
dstack(tables[, join_type, metadata_conflicts])	Stack columns within tables depth-wise.
join_skycoord(distance[, distance_func])	Helper function to join on SkyCoord columns using distance matching.
join_distance(distance[, kdtree_args, ...])	Helper function to join table columns using distance matching.

Classes

BST(data, row_index[, unique])	A basic binary search tree in pure Python, used as an engine for indexing.
Column([data, name, dtype, shape, length, ...])	Define a data column for use in a Table object.
ColumnGroups(parent_column[, indices, keys])
ColumnInfo([bound])	Container for meta information like name, description, format.
Conf()	Configuration parameters for astropy.table.
JSViewer([use_local_files, display_length])	Provides an interactive HTML export of a Table.
MaskedColumn([data, name, mask, fill_value, ...])	Define a masked data column for use in a Table object.
NdarrayMixin(obj, *args, **kwargs)	Mixin column class to allow storage of arbitrary numpy ndarrays within a Table.
QTable([data, masked, names, dtype, meta, ...])	A class to represent tables of heterogeneous data.
Row(table, index)	A class to represent one row of a Table object.
SCEngine(data, row_index[, unique])	Fast tree-based implementation for indexing, using the sortedcontainers package.
SerializedColumn	Subclass of dict used to serialize mixin columns.
SortedArray(data, row_index[, unique])	Implements a sorted array container using a list of numpy arrays.
StringTruncateWarning	Warning class for when a string column is assigned a value that gets truncated because the base (numpy) string length is too short.
Table([data, masked, names, dtype, meta, ...])	A class to represent tables of heterogeneous data.
TableAttribute([default])	Descriptor to define a custom attribute for a Table subclass.
TableColumns([cols])	OrderedDict subclass for a set of columns.
TableFormatter()
TableGroups(parent_table[, indices, keys])
TableMergeError
TableReplaceWarning	Warning class for cases when a table column is replaced via the Table.__setitem__ syntax e.g. t['a'] = val.
PprintIncludeExclude([default])	Maintain tuple that controls table column visibility for print output.
