I do think we should be using that code in our forms eventually. My suggestion would be (requires a bit of effort): - write Cheetah templates for the forms - process them in GNUmed (fill placeholders, that is) - transform them to LaTeX using Ian's fixed position extension - generate PDFs from it - use the wxPython framework to send that PDF to a printer The result is that we could be maintaining form templates independant of the code proper.
