Let's divide and conquer. Try commenting out the stuff creating and using
"p"
and instead do
response.write("this is a test")
See if you get a file to save in the browser, and save it, rather than
opening
it, since it won't really be pdf. Then look at the file with something
like less
in a command line - don't try double clicking on the file, it's still not a
pdf to
see if it has the desired text. If that works the Django side of things is
good.
I haven't touched reportlab in a few years, so I don't remember if a Canvas
is the kind of object that you need (whether it even has a save method),
so the reportlab mailing list, or getting a simple reportlab example to
write
to an open file object, would be your alternatives.
