Are you also a beginner to programming? Or can you already program in 
another language? If so which? It will help us frame our reply at the 
right level.

'table' is not a native concept in Python so I assume you are talking 
from the point of view of your problem domain. Can you tell us more 
about the nature of these tables? How are they constructed?
Where do they live?
- plain text?
- an application file(eg Excel)?
- a database(which?)?
- a web page?
- other?

Can you give some sample input?
What should the output look like?
