Presentation for PyHou meetup http://www.meetup.com/python-14/

Automating PDFs with Python and command-line tools

Presented at PyHou Meetup

---

Presentation

To view it as a slideshow, just run

python ./console-presenter/present.py presentation.txt

Otherwise, you can just read the presentation.txt file.

BTW, console-presenter is actually hosted at launchpad.net, but it's small, and I didn't want to require people to install bzr just to play with it.

Requirements

You can get wkhtmltopdf 0.12.0 binaries from http://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html

You can get PyPDF2 and reportlab plus the dependencies for the Django example just by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Running Django Example

1. Edit the WKHTMLTOPDF_PATH setting in django_example/main/settings.py
2. Run: ```python django_example/manage.py syncdb``
