You are right, that is the best solution. I have tried it and it works fine. Maybe my approch was a little too academic...
By the way: reportlab does not need a temp file, a StringIO does the same job. Somethink like import StringIO out = StringIO.StringIO() c = Canvas(out) # or: doc = SimpleDocTemplate(out) ... c.save() result = out.getvalue() out.close() works fine. 2012/1/9 Anthony <abasta...@gmail.com> > Note, you might consider running Python 2.7 rather than Python 2.5 (web2py > runs fine with 2.7). > > > On Monday, January 9, 2012 2:30:07 PM UTC-5, Anthony wrote: >> >> Are you running the web2py binary for Windows?
