Open source implementation of RML (Report Markup Language) from ReportLab

RML User Guide (or beginner tutorial)

Not all tags are supported, but most of them work.

Install

pip install trml2pdf

Examples

Create a PDF file:

import trml2pdf
print trml2pdf.parseString(file('file.rml','r').read())

If you are using this for Django you can dynamically create an .rml file with the template system and then render it.

from django.template.loader import get_template
from django.template.context import Context

data = {'key1': 'foo'}
template = get_template('template.rml')
context = Context(data)
xmlstring = template.render(context)
pdfstr = trml2pdf.parseString(xmlstring)
