 Install a PDF print driver and then print the file to that printer.
 Set it to save as a file. Then if its printable you can get it as a PDF.

 You can do the same with postscript(and postscript drivers
 come with most OS). Then send the postscript file to Adobe's
 web site to get them to generate the PDF from postscript.
 (You can also download free convertors)

 Finally, and because this is a Python list,  you could use a
 Python library and generate the file yourself - but while thats
 ok for your own data its a lot harder for many file types!

If the file is printable, print it to a PDF gateway that generates a PS 
or PDF file.


If it is a Microsoft Office document, or similar, then install 
OpenOffice or LibreOffice and use it to convert to PDF.


If it's not printable, then your question doesn't make sense. What would 
an ISO or EXE or ZIP file look like converted to PDF?


But I wonder whether you bothered to google for python pdf first? The 
very first link is a comprehensive review of installing and using a PDF 
generator from Python.
