Hey there! For *how to extract data from a table in python*, I’d suggest using `pd.read_excel()` for Excel files—it’s straightforward and works like a charm. For HTML tables, pandas’ `read_html()` is super convenient, but if the tables are super nested, you might need to tweak the output a bit.

For PDFs, I’ve had good luck with PDFPlumber. It’s a bit more intuitive than PyPDF2 and handles messy tables better. Camelot is good too, but it’s more for clean, structured tables.

If you’re stuck, check out the docs for these libraries—they’ve got some great examples to get you started.
