I've gotten a crush on wxPython, now that it's nicely documented in the "wxPython in Action" book. Take a look at http://wiki.wxpython.org/index.cgi/Printing for a discussion of printing. Here's an example on printing, copying the code from "Code Sample - Easy Printing" on that page. ################################### # this part copied from URL above: from wx.html import HtmlEasyPrinting class Printer(HtmlEasyPrinting): def __init__(self): HtmlEasyPrinting.__init__(self) def GetHtmlText(self,text): "Simple conversion of text. Use a more powerful version" html_text = text.replace('\n\n','<P>') html_text = text.replace('\n', '<BR>') return html_text def Print(self, text, doc_name): self.SetHeader(doc_name) self.PrintText(self.GetHtmlText(text),doc_name) def PreviewText(self, text, doc_name): self.SetHeader(doc_name) HtmlEasyPrinting.PreviewText(self, self.GetHtmlText(text)) # now, using it: text_to_print = """ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. """ app = wx.PySimpleApp() p = Printer() p.Print(text_to_print, "Amend 1") ################################### This works, and gives you (well, the user) the option of printing landscape. I'm not sure how to go about specifying a font. I suspect you'll have to go with the more heavyweight "Code Sample - `(wx)Printout` Printing" examplefor that.
