That part works but now how to I make a pdf from the html file? > I would use lxml for the transformation and wx for printing. The example below will prompt you with the dialog but it should be possible to silence it somehow. Instead of Acrobat Printer I would use PDFCreator. It is free and one of the myriad options is to automatically save without prompting for a file name.
For example: 8<------------------------------------------------------------------------------ import wx from wx import html import lxml.etree as ET def get_reports(): xmlfile = 'report.xml' xslfile = 'style.xsl' for i in range(3): transform = ET.XSLT(ET.parse(xslfile)) result = transform(ET.parse(xmlfile)) yield ET.tostring(result) class MyFrame(wx.Frame): def __init__(self): wx.Frame.__init__(self, None) self.prn = html.HtmlEasyPrinting() but = wx.Button(self, label='Go') self.Bind(wx.EVT_BUTTON, self.PrintReports) def PrintReports(self, evt): for rpt in get_reports(): self.prn.PrintText(rpt) if __name__ == '__main__': app = wx.PySimpleApp() frame = MyFrame() frame.Show(True) app.MainLoop() _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
