hello.
I have a requirement where I need to generate spreadsheet type reports
as well as integrating pdf reports into my web app.
I should be able to print them from my browser.
Some of them are generated dynamically so I will jsonify my pylons
method to give out the data, but are there some li
For server side, there's report lab
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/reportlab
for client side, google visualization might work for you.

there's a python library to help build the data structures that the js expects.

I have used report lab before to generate pdf but I did not quite understand
how it will help at the server side with my pylons app?
Is there a way to render

I'd have to look at the docs to be sure, but getting the browser to
pick it up as a pdf and use the associated application should be a
matter of setting the headers correctly on the response.
Hey Thomas,

Definitely no need to mess with byte-ranges then. That's really only
something to look at once you're getting into the >100 page

We also use reportlab in RUM to generate pdf's
with landscape tables of data.
No complaints.
It is a general pdf framework, so not always "supereasy" (was a little

find out, how to register a specific font for bold text), but it also
seems quite mature.
Cheers,

Good, so now I am left to just hack out the ods related problem.
It will be great if I can send the spreadsheet across to browser. The
browser may inturn open calc and display the spreadsheet.
Happy hacking.

I do something similar with engineering data where I separate the data
into tabs for different temperatures and data types and send the
spreadsheets back to the client. I use a module called xlwt to do all
of the spreadsheet formatting in Pylons before I send the data back
