Good up-to-date Django report builder addons

[Gerald Brown]

Does anyone know of any GOOD, UP-TO-DATE Django report builder add-ons? 

I was just working with Appy and discovered it was built with Python 2.? and I am using Python3.6.5. so I was getting a ton of errors.  Even though the last release in Pypi was in April 2018 they are still using Python 2.?

My client wants to create a daily report of customer spending.  The report should be simple to build as it consists of only 3 columns and a total at the bottom.  I want it to report by daily, weekly, monthly and yearly where the first will be a detailed report and the other 3 would be summary reports.

Many decades ago I used Crystal Reports but have not found anything similar for Django.  If anyone knows of this or something similar please let me know.

Thank you in advance!!!

Any time I have the question "Is there something in Django that will do this?", my first stop is https://djangopackages.org/

For example, their listings for reporting have a number of options and you can filter by python3 compatibility.

I went to that site but sorry to say was UNABLE to find anything I could use as most are OUTDATED, written in Python 2.? ,Alpha or Beta versions that have not been updated in many years.

I did find one on another site called i-net Clear Reports that has a FREE report designer similar to Crystal Reports that creates reports with a *.rpt extension. 

The only problem is in order to use those reports a person has to spend US$2,000 - US$5,000 or more for their report server application.  That is a bit steep for my wallet as a 1 person FOOS Django shop developing for a 2 person client shop.

The report I need to design is a simple 3 column report with a totals summary at the bottom.

Again thanks for your info.

You gave up too early. I don't know why it's ranked all the way on the right,
but this is defenitely stable and maintained and has a very good architecture:

Been there done that.

It would not select a range of dates and the date had to be specified as
2018-07-22, not Now() or Today().

I had 10 records that met the criteria but it only selected 2. Not very
easy to use.

Also very limited support, did NOT reply to my questions.

Have you used it?  Did you have better results?

Thanks.

As I don't know HTML that much, I am now going through the Django docs & trying it using Django Views.

I now need to look into Django URLS because I keep getting 404 errors.

Just need to keep trying & learning & eventually will get it!!!

I haven't looked in detail yet, but I am for $work. If I have different
results I will let you know. But we also have different requirements: our tech
stack is built on DRF and frontend is vue-js. So, if the API works as
advertised, it's unlikely we will be using the frontend.
