mutant

Mutant is a django application to transform your html template or external link in a pdf file in a simple way.
Mutant has some dependences:

1. You have to install wkhtmltopdf. You can find it at: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/
   
2. You have to install pyzmq. For more informations look at: https://github.com/zeromq/pyzmq
   
3. It works only with uWSGI application server and its documentation is here: http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/
   
4. Obviously it's a django application, so...
   

Remember: to use special characters you must include in your template following meta information:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

Usage

First af all you have to configure config.py in mutant package.

Then, set uwsgi parameters in your ini configuration:

import = mutant
mule = 1

from mutant.views import pdf_to_response

def myview(request): 
    html= "template_name.html" #or external link like 'www.google.com'. In this case you have to set ext_url = True in pdf_to_response
    dest = "/path_to_destination_file/filename.pdf"
    
    return pdf_to_response(request,html,dest)
