I have a Python3 GUI, where user selects certain values to be statistically evaluated and/or plotted (hist).
Out of this GUI on users request I want to create a report, prefferebly in DOC or/and ODT or/and PDF formats. The layout of the report is pretty much fixed, what will change is: the names of the selected measures and the corresponding values (there are always three measures to display - user selects which), matplotlib histogram (will change depending on the selected settings), user name, date etc.
In some older thread I found a reference to pod package which looks very close to my needs. But I didn't find any good illustration of the resulting documents. And what is most important, I'm not sure if images are allowed there - I would imagine reserving a place for the image somewhere in the corner of the document and update it when user request the report.
EDIT1: pod does NOT support Python3, also after 2to3 convertion and couple of small fixes. There was an advice to use LaTeX, but I'm not sure I understand how to implement this idea without going to the very low level of coding.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated since the rest of the project is nearly done and this is the last big unsolved problem.
EDIT2: After some break I return to this problem. Since my GUI is in PyQt4, I finally decided to go with QTextDocument and print document to PDF. There are some unclear moments for me in this approach, like if I should use QTextCursor and programically create the document or create somehow HTML first. Also, I have to figure out how to create the document without displaying editor window. Any references with examples are welcome. So far I found only couple of examples in PyQt4\examples\richtext, but they don't answer all my questions.
