Hi,
I wish to use an easy way to generate reports from wxPython and feel
wxHtmlEasyPrint ing could be a good solution.
I now need to generate the HTML wxHtmlEasyPrint ing can print: I need to have
a title followed by lines of text that do not look too ugly. If possible I
would like to use an existing module.
Q1) Is there such a module ?
Q2) Is my approach fairly good ?
Regards,
Philippe

PS: I am looking at the formatter module which seems to be related to HTML
somehow, but without any code sample I'm a bit lost

You could generate your report in reStructuredTex t
format (Google is your friend) and then convert
them in HTML, PS, PDF, etc.

I don't know wxPython, but generating HTML is very easy.
Some people say mixing HTML and programming code is not good.
But if you want to create dynamic pages with more logic than HTML
this is the best solution.
Example: Multiplication Table
rows=[]
heading=[]
for i in range(1, 11):
heading.append( '<th bgcolor="grey"> %s</th>' % i)
cols=[]
for j in range(1, 11):
cols.append('<t d align="right">% s</td>' % (i*j))
row='<tr><th bgcolor="grey"> %s</th>%s</tr>' % (i, ''.join(cols))
rows.append(row )
html="""
<html>
<head><title>Mu ltiplication Table</title></head>
<body>
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th> </th> %s
</tr>
%s
</table>
</body>
</html> """ % (''.join(headin g), ''.join(rows))
I guess this looks more ugly in most template languages.

Thanks a bunch,
I'm currently playing with HTMLGen (great but not in Python distrib ...) and
it look very good - Yet your code example looks simple enough for me to
look at that alternative.

I looked at HTMLGen a while ago- I didn't see what the advantage was.
I wrote soem code similar to the example above, to generate a page..
It worked out fine.
However, I want to add HTML ouput to many of my other python programs,
and I don't want to re-write this for each program. So some higher
level of abastraction is needed, but I don't know how just yet.
HTMLGen is no longer maintained, so I don't know what the best choice
is.
If you know the basics of HTMl, you can write a simple class to write
the html, and just call a method from your program, so your app does
not have any HTML in it.

There are many ways to do this. The simplest is just to mix HTML and Python code in your own module, as Thomas has shown. This is quick and easy to do but IMO it doesn't scale well to large pages or large number of pages; the mix of raw HTML and Python code is hard to work with.
This page lists many alternatives: http://wiki.python.org/moin/WebProgramming
The interesting categories from that page:
"Templating Engines" provide a way to describe the HTML that is more-or-less independent of the code. They vary widely in style. If you want a lot of control over the generated HTML you probably want to use one of these.
"HTML Shorthand Processors" provide an alternate way to specify markup and a program to convert the markup to HTML. reStructuredTex t is in this category. To use one of these you would still have to generate the alternate markup in your program similar to the simple HTML method.
"HTML Generation class libraries" are libraries that make it easier to create HTML programmaticall y. This can be a good approach if the HTML is simple. I guess you can add many Python XML libraries to this category as well; for example you could use ElementTree to generate a model of an XHTML page and output it.
Choosing within the categories depends a lot on personal preference, you just have to find a package whose style you like and whose features fit your needs.

If you want an alternative to HTMLGen that is still maintained, you
might want to try XIST ( http://www.livinglogic.de/Python/xist)

What is the recommended way of generating HTML from Python? I know of

Also, are there plans to include a module for HTML generation in the

I really would like to see some standardization in this area.

Hi,
i create my GUIs mainly via wxGlade. However when you start of to
program and want to do some rearranging to the gui, wxglade overwrites
your file and you've got to put your own code back in.
I think i can work around that (at least a bit) by making a second file
that imports the gui generated by wxglade and make classes that extend
the original ones.
For instance i could have a class MainForm that extends the wxFrame
