Replace the "Status of the Python branches" table with a csv. by ezio-melotti · Pull Request #884 · python/devguide

Does auto work for widths?

I can give that a try. I set those widths manually in order to keep each row in a single line (see e.g. the screenshots in the first message).

Another option would be to combine the CSVs,

I'm trying to gather some feedback from the endoflife folks and pydotorg in order to figure out their needs. If it turns out that a single table is better, I can combine them.

and use a very simple extension in conf.py to split them by EOL/active and add the italics -- that would allow for easier parsing for external consumers such as endoflife.date.

What extension? I also don't like too much the rst markup in the csv, especially the :pep:`...`s applied to all the PEPs in the PEP column, but the italic is not applied to all rows and it's easy enough to remove afterwards that it's probably better to keep it there.
