This function takes a list of dictionaries and returns a LaTeX table as a string. The table can either be printed or written to a file.

>>> data = [{"a": [1, 2, 3], "b": [4, 5, 6]}]
>>> print(create_latex_table_from_data(data))
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
\hline
a & b \\
\hline
1 & 4 \\
2 & 5 \\
3 & 6 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

edsl.utilities.interface.human_readable_labeler_creator()[source]

Create a function that maps thread ids to human-readable labels.

It is structured as a closure, so that the mapping is persistent.

This will persist across calls to the function.

    except TypeError:
        pass
