Hi, what about the following for PyCon: Using Dabo for creating app with appwizard, querying db, and then inputting data to OpenOffice template with PyOpenOffice: http://www.bezirksreiter.de/PyOpenOffice.htm
So you could use OpenOffice as report template designer, but in normal Dabo app operation (see below) OpenOffice wouldn't be needed. Then, some SVG images to it could maybe inserted with svglib: http://starship.python.net/~gherman/svglib.html Then combining the resulting application to single executeable for Windows, Linux and Irix with PyInstaller: http://pyinstaller.hpcf.upr.edu In the resulting application, there would be dabo gui for selecting records, and then when I click report button, resulting PDF file opens in the default PDF viewer. And making this process as easy and short as possible. I'd also like to have web page detailing step by step how to create all of the above. Shorter version of the above could be presented in PyCon, and I'd like to have video about that in ogg theora format. Best regards, Lauri __________________________________ Yahoo!
