Hey! For *how to extract data from a table in python*, pandas is your best friend for Excel/CSV. For HTML, BeautifulSoup is fine, but I’d recommend `lxml` for speed and efficiency.

For PDFs, Camelot is great for clean tables, but if they’re messy, PDFPlumber is way better. It’s more flexible and can handle weird layouts.

Also, if you’re dealing with nested tables, you might need to write some custom code to parse them properly. It’s a bit of a hassle, but it’s doable.

Good luck!
