Command to add to the appendix

Question

What would be an elegant way to add (in my case tables) to the appendix without leaving the part of the file in am working on? i.e. how should I define the \addtoappendix command in:

Here is an example of a table you can find in \cref{appendix} \addtoappendix{table}.

I have seen this question, is there maybe something easier/shorter?

The setting is as follows: I am using Pythontex to write the tables and I would like to keep a copy of these in the appendix.

EDIT (minimal examples):

First without Pythontex:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm, amssymb}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[nameinlink]{cleveref}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}
  \center
\begin{tabular}{cc}
  $a$&$b$\\
  $c$&$d$
\end{tabular}
\caption{A table}
\label{tab:table}
\end{table}
Here is a \cref{tab:table}. 
\end{document}

In this case, \addtoappendix{\begin{table}...\end{table}} should print the table in the appendix.

I think adapting this with the Pythonthex should be straighforward, but maybe not:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm, amssymb}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{pythontex}
\usepackage[nameinlink]{cleveref}

\begin{document}

\begin{pycode}
def ptable():
  print("\\begin{table}\\center")
  print("\\begin{tabular}{cc}")
  print("$a$&$b$\\\\")
  print("$c$&$d$")
  print("\\end{tabular}")
  print("\\caption{A table}")
  print("\\label{tab:table}")
  print("\\end{table}")
\end{pycode}
\pyc{ptable()}
Here is \cref{tab:table}

\end{document}

\addtoappendix{\pyc{ptable()}} should print the table in the appendix.

Thank you!

Can you please add a minimal working example to show what sort of tables you want to add and add any additional formatting info. — , May 29 '17 at 12:25

You can do it by collecting the tables in a token list register, with the help of environ.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsthm, amssymb}
\usepackage{environ}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[nameinlink]{cleveref}

\usepackage{lipsum} % for context

\newtoks\appendixtabletoks

\NewEnviron{appendixtable}{%
  \edef\temp{%
    \noexpand\begin{table}[hp]
    \unexpanded\expandafter{\BODY}
    \noexpand\end{table}
  }%
  \global\appendixtabletoks=\expandafter{%
    \the\expandafter\appendixtabletoks\temp
  }
}

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]

\begin{appendixtable}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{cc}
  x & y \\
  abc & def
\end{tabular}
\caption{A table}
\label{tab:table}
\end{appendixtable}
Here is a \cref{tab:table}.

\appendix
\chapter{Tables}

\the\appendixtabletoks

\end{document}
