Justify column header independent of cell

[e-cal]

I would love to be able to center a column header, but then left justify the cells in the column.

Try setting the column header to Text("Header", justify="center")

Perfect, using the documentation example from https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tables.html we start with this:

>>> console.print(table)
                          Star Wars Movies                           
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃     Released ┃ Title                             ┃     Box Office ┃
┡━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┩
│ Dec 20, 2019 │ Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker  │   $952,110,690 │
│ May 25, 2018 │ Solo: A Star Wars Story           │   $393,151,347 │
│ Dec 15, 2017 │ Star Wars Ep. V111: The Last Jedi │ $1,332,539,889 │
│ Dec 16, 2016 │ Rogue One: A Star Wars Story      │ $1,332,439,889 │
└──────────────┴───────────────────────────────────┴────────────────┘

Now if I adjust the .add_column calls we can have the box-office takings right justified as before, but the heading left justified:

from rich.console import Console
from rich.table import Table
from rich.text import Text

table = Table(title="Star Wars Movies")

table.add_column("Released", justify="right", style="cyan", no_wrap=True)
table.add_column("Title", style="magenta")
# Want this column right-aligned, but its header left-aligned:
table.add_column(Text("Box Office", justify="left"), justify="right", style="green")

table.add_row("Dec 20, 2019", "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker", "$952,110,690")
table.add_row("May 25, 2018", "Solo: A Star Wars Story", "$393,151,347")
table.add_row("Dec 15, 2017", "Star Wars Ep. V111: The Last Jedi", "$1,332,539,889")
table.add_row("Dec 16, 2016", "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story", "$1,332,439,889")

console = Console()
console.print(table)

And the result:

>>> console.print(table)
                          Star Wars Movies                           
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃     Released ┃ Title                             ┃ Box Office     ┃
