Unless learning Python is for you so important and compelling that you accept

In the example they define items, but will the template generate

I need the GUI for absolute positioning of objects - similar to

I've checked it out, I can see your point, it's a beautiful tool, but
too many dependencies and a long product chain.
For simple database reports (that would be 98% of the time) I'll work
with xlsxwriter and PollyReports which is close to the fox style but
stays within python and keeps the

I've used JasperStudio alongside Servoy (which is essentially a Java/Apache

But as is the way with development nowadays it's

The bottom line is I doubt you'll find anything as simple as the Visual FoxPro
report writer in the sphere in which you are working. This isn't a
Django/Python/Windows/Linux thing, it's just how things are now especially in
the web development world.
Hello everybody,
I am exploring Django for my next project.

Having worked (and still working) with Visual Foxpro reports, all these
years, I am looking out for a similar experience with
