ReportLab is a software library that lets you directly create
|
||
|
|
documents in Adobe's Portabe Document Format (PDF) using the Python
|
||
|
|
programming language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ReportLab library directly creates PDF based on your graphics
|
||
|
|
commands. There are no intervening steps. Your applications can
|
||
|
|
generate reports extremely fast - sometimes orders of magnitude
|
||
|
|
faster than traditional report-writing tools.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The ReportLab library is expected to be useful in at least the
|
||
|
|
following contexts:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Dynamic PDF generation on the web
|
||
|
|
- High-volume corporate reporting and database publishing
|
||
|
|
- An embeddable print engine for other applications, including
|
||
|
|
a 'report language' so that users can customize their own reports.
|
||
|
|
- A 'build system' for complex documents with charts, tables
|
||
|
|
and text such as management accounts, statistical reports and
|
||
|
|
scientific papers
|
||
|
|
- Going from XML to PDF in one step!
