Now I have tried weasyprint - it is very slow.

def we():
    import weasyprint
    html= HTML(
            HEAD(
                STYLE("""table, th, td {
                    border: 1px solid #040;
                    border-collapse: collapse;
                    font-family: Verdana;
                    font-size: 1em;
                    text-align: center;
                    padding: 5px;
                    }""" ,  _type="text/css"),
                ),
            BODY(TABLE(*[TR(j, *[i for i in range(15)]) for j in range(60)])
          ))
    s=str(html)
    print s
    doc = weasyprint.HTML(string=s.encode('utf-8'))
    d=doc.render()
    p=d.write_pdf()
   
    response.headers['Content-Type'] = "application/pdf"
    return p

   

A table with 15 * 60 field and the pdf file needs 2 min 40 sec to create.

 Unable to write to a local temp folder when using xhtml2pdf.pisa CreatePDF method

Ed Bright <p...@intex.com> May 02 08:39AM -0700  

Hi,
When I used xhtml2pdf module to save a html source page into a temporary
directory on my window 7 machine, I got an error:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: 'd:\\\\temp\\\\file_download
 
The folder is a temporary folder on my machine and I can write/read without
issue in a dos command window. Has anyone seen similar problem or did I
miss anything?
Here is a snippet of the code:
 
 
from selenium import webdriver
import cStringIO
import xhtml2pdf.pisa as pisa
...
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_profile=profile)
....
data = driver.page_source
pdf = pisa.CreatePDF(cStringIO.StringIO(data),file(save_path, "wb"))
 
 
The error trapped was:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: 'd:\\\\temp\\\\file_download
 
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
I've solved the problem by moving to weasyprint ( http://weasyprint.org/ ).
it has pretty proper support of CSS properties, but first of all it just
WORKS.
 
Best regards,
Michal Gajek

Hi Michael,
 
Thanks for sharing, this project looks awesome! I have updated the "Alternatives" section accordingly: http://www.xhtml2pdf.com/
 
You need to consider, that xhtml2pdf development has been started almost 10 years ago and that most HTML and CSS features didn't even exist at that time. Also the availability of third party libraries that help parsing HTML and creating PDF has become much better nowadays.
 
But xhtml2pdf has also proved to work reliable in production environments and porting is easy since it is written in pure Python and hasn't very much dependencies.
 
Anyway it's great to see that there are other Python projects that work on HTML to PDF conversion. I still believe in the basic idea of leveraging common HTML knowledge to create flexible PDF output. Those two worlds deserve a good links in form of a good tools :)
 
Cheers,
Dirk
