Generating pdf in python with pisa

[Mukesh Yadav]

Hi, 

  I want to generate pdf from html files, I installed reportlab and pisa via apt-get. 

I can generate pdf via command line with this command 

$ xhtml2pdf -s http://www.google.com/

but I'm not able to import xhtml2pdf in python file.

import ho.xhtml2pdf as xhtml2pdf

or 

import xhtml2pdf.pisa as pisa

i get error 

ImportError: No module named xhtml2pdf.pisa

or 

ImportError: No module named 

xhtml2pdf

Use this :

import ho.pisa as pisa

mypdf = pisa.CreatePDF(<html_string>, file('myfile.pdf', "wb"))

getting 

ImportError: No module named ho.pisa
