Version 0.7.1 of asciitable, an extensible module for reading and writing ASCII tables, is now available:

   http://cxc.harvard.edu/contrib/asciitable/

This is a minor feature and bug-fix release:

• Add a method inconsistent_handler() to the BaseReader class as a hook to handle rows with an inconsistent number of data columns (contributed by Erik Tollerud).
• Output a more informative error message when guessing fails.
• Fix issues in column type handling, mostly related to the MemoryReader class which is used for writing tables.
• Fix a problem in guessing where user-supplied args were not filtering the guess possibilities correctly.
• Fix problem reading a single column, string-only table with MemoryReader on MacOS.
