How do I acheive this table formatting?

I am having a hard time understanding the various table formatting options. I have code that makes a table that looks like this. The only formatting I have added is to center text in each column and to set the cell width equally to all interior cells:
+---+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| | A | B | C | D | E | F |
+---+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 1 | 588 490 472 | 1023 913 861 | 689 739 911 | 580 620 539 | 758 708 875 | 704 870 880 |
+---+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 2 | 1022 784 571 | 575 577 880 | 1023 692 690 | 573 438 596 | 901 982 740 | 979 836 601 |
+---+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 3 | 378 381 666 | 598 766 645 | 923 534 503 | 1022 1010 748 | 967 652 809 | 464 643 814 |
+---+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
| 4 | 1023 1015 1023 | 1023 1012 1023 | 965 961 991 | 712 708 735 | 489 483 518 | 293 279 320 |
+---+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+
What I want is this formatting:
A B C D E F
+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------+----------------
1 | 588 490 473 1023 913 862 689 739 911 581 621 539 759 709 876 705 870 881
2 | 1022 784 572 575 577 881 1023 692 690 573 439 596 901 982 740 980 837 601
3 | 379 382 667 599 767 645 923 535 504 1023 1010 749 967 653 810 464 643 814
4 | 1023 1015 1023 1023 1013 1023 966 962 992 713 708 736 489 483 519 294 280 320
What do I need to achieve this? I've played with various combinations of hiding borders, changing border and corner characters, and other things, but the result is usually parts look like what I want, and other parts are wrong. I think I'm just missing some core concepts in the rendering model, or possibly how I'm specifying the directives with the fluent interface.
How should I approach formatting the table like above?
+1 This would be very useful and the first thing I wanted the library to do.
See 'Table format' in Python's tabulate for examples of what would be great to provide with this library.
