django and and pisa are great for creating PDF's because you can
combine django's templating engine with pisa's HTML to PDF conversion.
Pisa uses the reportlab tool kit. http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pisa/
Example:
import ho.pisa as pisa
import cStringIO as StringIO
from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.template import Context
def generatePDF(data):
template = get_template(path/to/pdf.html')
html = template.render(Context({
'data':data
}))
result = StringIO.StringIO()
pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(StringIO.StringIO(html.encode("UTF-8")),
result)
return result.getvalue()
You can then do what you want with the PDF value. Send it as a
download, attach to email or save to disk.
Example response for download via a web browser
response = HttpResponse(generatePDF(data), mimetype='application/pdf')
response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=afilename.pdf'
return response
Hope that helps.
