Please find attached a patch to allow not to specify a paper size in the

width and height attributes are ignored if pagesize is specified.

[PythonReports-users] PaperSizer - custom dimension

[Werner F. B. <wer...@fr...>]

Hi,

I am still fighting with my card 10 x 15 cm or in inches it is 4 x 6.

It is all layed out correctly now but I can do whatever I want it will 
not print on my cards correctly on a Canon printer.

At this point I am quit sure it has to do with the paper size over 
ridding the custom size.  In other words PythonReports passes the page 
size to the pdf writer stuff and the size (width/height) on the report 
level definition are ignored.

  <layout height="283" pagesize="B6" width="425">
   <style bgcolor="#FFFFFF" color="#000000" font="body" />
   <group expr="THIS.id" name="default">
    <title>

etc etc

Is my assumption correct or should it work and I am doing something wrong?

That is what I meant in the wxPrint module docstring.  I tried to find 
workarounds, but AFAIR success was partial.

Tk-based preview works Ok, but of course it would be weird (if at all 
possible) to use Tk-based window in wx-based application.

Another possibility would be to implement HTML renderer for printouts 
and use wxHtmlWindow to preview output.

Is it cross-platform yet?  Last I knew it was based on ActiveX.

Anyhow, it would be welcome addition to the package.  Please explore the 
possibility if you are interested.

alex.

[PythonReports-users] Font size issue

[Werner F. B. <wer...@fr...>]

Hi,

I am working on reports again and got quit confused that printing from 
the preview results are totally incorrect, e.g. Alignment and font size 
on the custom form I am doing.

It works fine for a report which is A4, but the one I am working on is a 
10 x 15 cm card, so none standard size.

What about making use of "wx.lib.pdfviewer" as an alternative to the wx 
print preview?

Printing of sections and body elements may be suppressed by using 
"printwhen" attribute of style elements.

[Werner F. B. <wer...@fr...>]

Hi,

Is there a good way to suppress the printing of a group header and/or 
footer based on some user defined criteria/parameter?

If not could a "print expr" be added, if it evaluates to True then print 
the section otherwise not, with a default of True.

Did it.  Thank you very much.

Re: [PythonReports-users] Images

[Werner F. B. <wer...@fr...>]

Hi Alex,

line 213 in wxPrint.drawImage needs to change to:
                 _data = prp.Data.get_data(_data)

line 92 in wxPrint.__init__:
         self.imgdata = dict([(_element.get("name"), 
prp.Data.get_data(_element))

and line 2363 in Builder.build_printout
                 prp.Data.make_element(_root, data=_image.getdata(),

I.e. in all change "Data" to "prp.Data"

If you prefer I can create you a patch later today.

At this point the image shows and the editor opens with out problems.

Thanks a lot for this, and PythonReports in general.

I am lousy in remembering syntax.

My method is being called now - great, once per recipe, 3 for the test.

But then I get this exception:

I have this for my image:

Indeed it is not evaluated.  It shouldn't be, with your template

Sorry, to confuse you, the file contains:

	<image type="png">
	       <box height="30" width="75" x="374" y="50" />
        	<data> expr="ru.getRecipeImagePNG(THIS.id)"</data>
	      </image>

When I run it through the debugger (WingIDE) I see at line 92 of fromdata in PILDrivers that the
param "data" contains:

u'expr="ru.getRecipeImagePNG(THIS.id)"'

As if the expression has never been evaluated (correct term), i.e. my getRecipeImagePNG method is never called.

Hhm, unless I still do something wrong - quit likely, here is what I get:

data

Hi Alex,

expr gets saved, I just didn't check _enable, but now I get the 
following exception, when I have the following for 'image':

     <image embed="false" type="png">

Hi Alex,

Not sure, gave it a try but can't get it to work.


My getRecipeImage method returns a PIL.Image instance - what should it 
return?

It also looks like data.expr is NOT saved to the template file, i.e. if 
I save an reopen it the expression is not there.

Can you please give me a little pointer on how to use it.

When trying the above I see the following exception - probably because I 
don't use it correctly.

You are right, didn't show my exclude which I should for other users.

excludes = ['_gtkagg', '_tkagg', 'bsddb', 'curses', 'pywin.debugger',
             'pywin.debugger.dbgcon', 'pywin.dialogs', 'tcl',

This pulls in Tkinter which is quite weighty and absolutely unneeded in 
your case: you cannot use wx and Tk simultaneously.

This is checked in.

No, it was lost when I rearranged subpackages.

PythonReports should be found without explicit include.  For my other 
project (no wx part, only reportlab-based builder and pdf output), I use

         "includes": [
             "PythonReports.PILDrivers",
             "PythonReports.RLDrivers",
         ],

             "tcl",
             "Tkinter",
             "_tkinter",

No, it can't.  The resources are to be packaged as data files, separate 
from library.zip.

I have planned to add a check for ".zip" in module path to 
editor.utils.get_resource_dir().  In your case, the path would be 
'C:\Program Files\TheWineCellarBookV4\lib\res\pythonreports.ico' - with 
directories up to and including library.zip removed by get_resource_dir().

I think that img2py will do, too.

[PythonReports-users] PythonReports and py2exe

[Werner F. B. <wer...@fr...>]

Hi,

I am at the stage where I like to test my distribution method with 
PythonReports.

I use py2exe and InnoSetup to generate an installer.

Updated my setup.py to ensure that PythonReports and reportlab get 
included by py2exe by adding them to "packages" option.

However the way images are handled in PythonReports I run into this error:

19:39:52: can't open file 'C:\Program Files\TheWineCellarBookV4\lib\library.zip\PythonReports\editor\res\pythonreports.ico' (error 3: le chemin d'accès spécifié est introuvable.)
19:39:52: No handler found for image type.


The French text means "access path is not found", however if I check the 
library.zip file it does contain the image, but I think 
"AddIconFromFile" can't deal with this path (and/or extracting from a 
zip archive).

To get the images into the library.zip I had to do a hack in the 
setup.py to manually update the library.zip.

The nicest way, in my view, would be to have the images in a resource 
file created by imp2py (wxPython tools).  That approach should then be 
fine regards less of py2exe options/configuration (and should also work 
for other freezing tools, cxfrezze etc).

I would be happy to do a patch for that change if this would be o.k. 
with you.

Best regards
Werner

I call that "forward compatibility", in other words templates created in 
previous versions will work on future version, but a template created in 
a newer version will not certainly work or will miss something when run 
on an older version.

Maybe restrict/reduce the change to just "image element" if expect to 
big slow down.
