When maxheadercolwidths is set and the table has no data rows, list_of_lists[0] raises an IndexError since the list is empty. Fall back to len(headers) when list_of_lists is empty to determine the number of columns, matching how maxcolwidths already handles the same scenario.

Thank you for pointing this out. I did a slightly different fix. |

When
maxheadercolwidthsis passed and the table has no data rows,tabulate()raises anIndexErrorbecause it tries to accesslist_of_lists[0]to determine the column count on an empty list.This fix checks whether
list_of_listsis empty and falls back tolen(headers)for the column count, which is the same pattern already used in themaxcolwidthshandling a few lines above.Fixes #365
