[pydpdf] ('FPDF' object has no attribute 'write_html')

Hi,

Here is a simple controller.

def test_fpdf():
    from gluon.contrib.pyfpdf import FPDF, HTMLMixin
    title = "This The Doc Title"
    heading = "First Paragraph"
    text = 'bla'
    # create a small table with some data:
    rows_body = []
    for data in db(db.person.id > 0).select():
        rows_body.append([TD(str(data.name)), TD(str(data.age))])
    table=TABLE(THEAD(TR(TH("Name"), TH("Age"))),*[TR(*rows) for rows in rows_body])
    pdf=FPDF()
    pdf.add_page()
    pdf.write_html(str(XML(table, sanitize=False)))
    response.headers['Content-Type']='application/pdf'
    return pdf.output(dest='S')

I get an error:

    <type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>('FPDF' object has no attribute 'write_html')

Any idea why ?

see https://github.com/reingart/pyfpdf/blob/master/docs/reference/write_html.md for a detailed example for using write_html
