You are attempting to return a pyrtf.Document object, but instead you must stream a file or file-like object. You have to render the document to a file-like object and use response.stream():
def generate_doc(): from gluon.contrib.pyrtf import * import cStringIO doc = Document() ss = doc.StyleSheet section = Section() doc.Sections.append( section ) p = Paragraph( ss.ParagraphStyles.Heading1 ) p.append( 'Certified Staff Evaluation' ) section.append( p ) response.stream(pyrtf.Renderer().Write(doc, cStringIO.StringIO()), filename='yourdocument.rtf') Specifying the filename with the ".rtf" extension ensures the content-type header will be set properly automatically.
