Reporting in Python

Generate powerful reports incorporating lists, tables, charts, images, barcodes, and other document elements using LINQ Reporting Engine in Python. Not only reports, you can create documents of any type such as invoices, resumes, contracts, letters, and others using our advanced Python via .NET library.

See how easy it is to build a report in Python by taking the following steps:

  1. Choose your data source such as JSON, XML, CSV, databases, or objects of custom types.
  2. Prepare a template document in PDF or Word format such as DOC or DOCX. Using LINQ-based syntax, sort, filter, and group data directly in templates.
  3. Use our Python via .NET reporting engine to bind this template and data from your data source using LINQ syntax and get a report in the format of your choice.

Automate document generation in Python

Using the given reporting with Python via .NET, you can generate documents in many popular formats with professional quality:

  • Microsoft Word: DOC, DOCX, RTF, DOT, DOTX, DOTM, DOCM
  • OpenOffice: ODT, OTT
  • Fixed Layout: PDF, XPS, OpenXPS, PostScript
  • Pictures: JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, SVG, EMF, GIF
  • Web: HTML, MHTML
  • Others: EPUB, MOBI, Xaml, PCL, etc.

Report Generation in Python

Our reporting engine is based on the technology of dynamically binding a data source to fields in a document template using LINQ syntax. Such a reporting engine will significantly increase labor productivity when preparing documents of the same type by automating routine operations.

Create a report in Python

To evaluate how to generate a report in Python and how our programming API works, load a template document and file with your data. Specify the name of a data source object, if used in the template. After running the code, download the result of report generation in a convenient format such as DOCX or PDF.
