[Chicago] python and reports

[DiPierro, Massimo]

I use latex for www.appealmypropertytaxes.com

apt-get install tetex

I do not use any specific module, just create a .tex file with the content, process it, and read back the generated pdf. The optional latex package pstricks allow you to draw on the document and overlay text and picture using coordinates.
It is slower than reportlab but gives you more flexibility.

Hello,
Do you guys know an easy/FAST way to create reports in python?

Reportlab - but that seems to have a lot of pre-settings you need to
do to make the pdf.
Some template html system - you will need to learn one of the template
languages and start using it.

is there anything else that you tried and it worked for you?

Lucas
