Usage

from cement.core import foundation

class MyApp(foundation.CementApp):
    class Meta:
        label = 'myapp'
        extensions = ['tabulate']
        output_handler = 'tabulate'

with MyApp() as app:
    app.run()

    # create a dataset
    headers = ['NAME', 'AGE', 'ADDRESS']
    data = [
        ["Krystin Bartoletti", 47, "PSC 7591, Box 425, APO AP 68379"],
        ["Cris Hegan", 54, "322 Reubin Islands, Leylabury, NC 34388"],
        ["George Champlin", 25, "Unit 6559, Box 124, DPO AA 25518"],
        ]

    app.render(data, headers=headers)

Looks like:

| NAME               | AGE | ADDRESS                                 |
