A simple Python wrapper for the PrinceXML PDF generation library
Prince XML installation guide.
$ pip install pyprince
Path to prince binary must be set using the prince_bin param:
import pyprince
p = pyprince.Prince(prince_bin='/usr/local/bin/prince')You can specify all Prince XML options. You can drop '--' in option name. If option is without value use None or False:
import pyprince
options = {
"page-size": "A3",
"output": "./output.pdf",
"style": "./styles.css"
}
p = pyprince.Prince(prince_bin='/usr/local/bin/prince', options=options)
p.from_string("Hello")
p.from_file("./input.html")
# pass a list with multiple files
p.from_file(["./input1.html", "./input2.html"])
# Override options
extra_options = {
"page-size": "A4",
"debug": None
}
p.from_string("Hello", extra_options)
p.from_file("./input.html", extra_options)You can read it to a variable:
# From Prince documentation:
# The output file name can be specified on the command line using
# the --output command line option.
# An output filename consisting of a single hyphen "-" will
# cause pyprince to write to the standard output stream.
import pyprince
p = pyprince.Prince(prince_bin='/usr/local/bin/prince')
options = {"output": "-"}
pdf = p.from_file("./input.html", options)This library is maintained by Sufio - Professional Invoices.
