Generating RTF with Python

[Andreas Jung]

Hi,

does anyone know of a high-level solution to produce RTF from Python
(something similar to
Reportlab for producing PDF)?

Thanks,
Andreas

Hello!

does anyone know of a high-level solution to produce RTF from Python=20
(something similar to
Reportlab for producing PDF)?

Spend hours of googeling and searching, also in this NG, about two
months ago. My conclusion is: On windwos, maybe you can include some
hacks with dll's, under linux, linux support for generating rtf is none,
and so is python's.

My workaround was:
http://www.research.att.com/sw/download/
This includes an html2rtf converter, which I access from python via
popen and temporary files. Not high-level, not very sexy ... ;-(

Lg,
AXEL.

I looked at this a while ago, which might be a starter.

Don't remember why I didn't spent much time on that. Sombody has
experience with pyrtf on an production project (is it stable ;-))

I generate docbook and convert that to rtf. I generate the docbook
from my pdx markup:

If you go this route, your python code is actually writing pdx, and
you need a 2 step conversion (pdx2docbook.py, then openjade for the
xml-to-rtf step).
