Hi Christopher,
I'm certainly no Python expert, but I implemented your idea of
converting "hlines" to and from "None"'s (patch below [1]), and it seems
to work (under some definition of work). See the following example with
the new behavior.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+tblname: many-cols
| a | b | c |
|---+---+---|
| d | e | f |
|---+---+---|
| g | h | i |
#+source: echo-table
#+begin_src python :var tab=many-cols :hlines yes
return tab
#+end_src
#+results: echo-table
| a | b | c |
|---+---+---|
| d | e | f |
|---+---+---|
| g | h | i |
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Please, Python people, try this out and if you like the behavior then
I'll happily apply the patch.
Best -- Eric
