Description:

odsgenerator 1.11.0

odsgenerator, a .ods generator.
Generate an OpenDocument Format .ods file from a .json or .yaml file.
When used as a script, odsgenerator parses a JSON or YAML description of
tables and generates an ODF document using the odfdo library.
When used as a library, odsgenerator parses a Python description of tables
and returns the ODF content as bytes (ready to be saved as a valid ODF document).

The content description can be minimalist: a list of lists of lists,
or description can be complex, allowing styles at row or cell level.

See also https://github.com/jdum/odsparsator which is doing the reverse
operation, .osd to .json.
odsgenerator is a Python3 package, using the odfdo library. Current version requires Python >= 3.9, see prior versions for older environments.
