Definitely no need to mess with byte-ranges then. That's really only
something to look at once you're getting into the>100 page
documents.
Thanks, I guessed so.
And by any chance is some thing similar possible for open office
spreadsheets?
If you don't need much except rows and columns, your easiest
choice is to just serve up CSV files. Python even has a csv
module ... http://docs.python.org/library/csv.html
Ah, well, the problem here is that csv will not give me all the features
i need. I have to merge cells, and also have different formatting.
What I am going to output as a spreadsheet is actually an accounting ledger.
In any case I have a python library to generate open office
spreadsheet. for the information of all those who would like to know,
it is called odfpy and you can install it using easy_install.
My questions is, once we have created the ods file with all the data
properly formatted, how do we send the ods to the browser. Browser may
at its disposal open the calc application to display the spreadsheet
from the odf file. But I want to send that file across in the first place.
You may also want to send a content-disposition header,
something like
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="data.csv"
So I guess I will need to do some thing similar for ods?
Happy hacking.
