I got distracted. my real problem is something changed in the last
year. imagine that.
last year I would get everything on one page. good.
Now I get a blank page, then most of the content, then a bit on page 3. bad.
I am trying to track down when it changed, so I wrote a small .py,
which gives the same error, but does create the .pdf - anyone know how
to get a page count from a pdf? That will at least let me figure out
when the report engine changed from good to bad.
#!/usr/bin/python
# ckdre.py
# check dabo report engine
# currently checks number of pages - 1 = pass, anything else = fail.
from cStringIO import StringIO
# from reportlab.pdfbase import pdfmetrics
# from reportlab.pdfbase.ttfonts import TTFont
from dabo.dReportWriter import dReportWriter
import os
# import poppler
# from gtk.gdk import Pixbuf,COLORSPACE_RGB
def mkpdf(ds, xmlfile):
"""
Return a pdf made from the passed dataset.
"""
# buffer to create pdf in
buffer = StringIO()
# generate the pdf in the buffer, using the layout and data
rw = dReportWriter(OutputFile=buffer, ReportFormFile=xmlfile, Cursor=ds)
rw.write()
# get the pdf out of the buffer
pdf = buffer.getvalue()
buffer.close()
return pdf
if __name__=='__main__':
ds={'talk_title':"My Great PyCon08 Talk", 'presenter_name':"John
Doh", 'talk_id':"PM5", 'event_id':"113"}
pdf = mkpdf([ds],'release.rfxml')
open('test.pdf','wb').write(pdf)
