If it's PDFability you want, Reportlabs, and other libs that build on top of it, are the only serious options for Python. PyPDF can reorder, crop, delete, etc. pages, but it cannot generate a page.
According to Massimo, you should only need the binaries if you're including images in your reports. I use Pisa and I do include images. But I have Pisa/Reportslabs installed as a normal Python module, not as wrapped in a single web2py app. -tim mdipierro wrote: > If you just unzip reportlab under web2py/ and rezip web2py it works. > > reportlab does not need to be installed and only needs the binaries > for image manipulation. > > Massimo > > > On Mar 18, 1:02 pm, carlo <syseng...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> thank you Tim. >> >> Would you suggest any other package to get pdf printing more easily >> integrated with a web2py app (Pisa??) ?
