Package: astropy-utils Version: 3.0-2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
The showtable script is, I think, useful and should be packaged. I created a manpage (attached) based on the script help. As there is already a showtable.1 manpage in casacore-tools, maybe we can rename the script to showtable.py.

.TH showtable.py 1 "February 2018" "showtable.py" "astropy 3.0" .SH NAME showtable.py \- script to display a table in the console .SH SYNOPSIS .B showtable.py [\fIOPTION\fR]... [\fIFILE\fR]... .SH DESCRIPTION .PP \fBshowtable.py\fR is a command line script that prints the content of a table for the formats supported by astropy in the console. .PP The default behavior is to make the table output fit onto a single screen page. For a long and wide table this will mean cutting out inner rows and columns. To print all the rows or columns use \fB--max-lines=-1\fR or \fBmax-width=-1\fR, respectively. The complete list of supported formats can be found at http://astropy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/io/unified.html#built-in-table-readers-writers .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR Show this help message and exit. .TP \fB\-\-format\fR \fIFORMAT\fR Table format, should be specified if it cannot be automatically detected. .TP \fB\-\-more\fR Use the pager mode from Table.more. .TP \fB\-\-info\fR Show information about the table columns. .TP \fB\-\-stats\fR Show statistics about the table columns. .TP \fB\-\-max-lines\fR \fIMAX_LINES\fR Maximum number of lines in table output (default=screen length, -1 for no limit). .TP \fB\-\-max-width\fR \fIMAX_WIDTH\fR Maximum width in table output (default=screen width, -1 for no limit). .TP \fB\-\-hide-unit\fR Hide the header row for unit (which is shown only if one or more columns has a unit). .TP \fB\-\-show-dtype\fR Include a header row for column dtypes. .TP \fB\-\-delimiter\fR \fIDELIMITER\fR For ASCII formats, the column delimiter string. .TP \fB\-\-hdu\fR \fIHDU\fR For FITS format, the name of the HDU to show. .TP \fB\-\-path\fR \fIPATH\fR For HDF5 format, the path from which to read the table. .TP \fB\-\-table\-id\fR \fITABLE_ID\fR For VOTable format, the table to read in.
