And here is a simple converter that uses tabulate but has somewhat like
the pretty table object format that people are used to (could be away to
get 90% of the common usage over to tabulate, minus the special
prettytable users that are doing advanced things).

The grid output/format of tabulate seems to be pretty close to what
prettytable output/format is (but my guess is there is some variation,
just because of different authors/codebases...)

Not really in the telemetry roadmap honestly. But we could move away
From prettytable without much burden anyway.
There are a few server projects, and I assume they are using the
lib in their management commands. I'm sure there are shell scripts
out there parsing the rendered tables. Does tabulate produce tables
using the exact same format as PrettyTable?
We barely use it in Gnocchi, it could be easy to switch to something
fancier. Back then, we just picked PrettyTable because every other
project was using it and it was good enough for a quick CLI.
We could justify moving cliff, since it makes it easy to produce
more parsable output using selectable formatters, but some of those
other consuming projects may be a bit harder to change if we want
to maintain our backwards compatibility requirements.
I think that's a good idea, gnocchiclient and aodhclient already rely on
cliff for example, and ceilometerclient should switch at some point.
There are a few libraries on the list, too (automaton, ironic-lib), and
that's confusing. It would be interesting to know how they're using
table output.
automaton uses it for its verbose mode, it's just 2 lines to change… :)
