The usual go-to library for PDF generation is ReportLab. I haven't used

Do I take it that it's the PDF-generation side of things you're asking
about? Or do you need help iterating over hundreds of directories and files?

Its mostly the PDF generating side I need but I haven't yet used the Python
directory and file traversing functions so an example of this would also be
useful especially showing how I could capture the directory name and use that
as the name of the pdf file I'm creating from the directory contents.
Thanks again,

Here's a quick example. (And, by the way, please try to avoid the sort
of double-spacing above, especially if you're coming from Google Groups
which tends to produce such effects).
This should walk down the Python directory, creating a text file for
each directory. The textfile will contain the names of all the files in
the directory. (NB this might create a lot of text files so run it
inside some temp directory).
<code>
import os
root = "c:/temp"
for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(root):
print("Looking at", dirpath)
txt_filename = os.path.basename(dirpath) + ".txt"
with open(txt_filename, "w") as f:
f.write("\n".join(filenames))
</code>
