Help with report

2005-07-11 Thread ChrisH
I have some data in the following format:

Fred Flintstone,445553454,47634565
Wilma Flintstone,74857346,27576847
Barney Rubble,73487346,27576435

I need to convert this data into a report with the user's name and 
difference between the 2 numbers.

Can someone recommend a good way to do this?

BTW, it would be best if I can have it up and running by tomorrow. Also, 
html would be the preferred format, but not required.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I should have been more specific. The report needs to be presentable to 
my users and needs to have rich text type properties (multiple colors, 
tables, etc) Therefore, I would like to use html if possible.

I didn't know if there was already a report writing type of utility 
already built using python, so I won't have to reinvent the wheel.

Oh. The one other thing I forgot to mention is that the data needs to be 
already updated every 10 minutes or so automatically.

HTMLgen looks like it might fit the bill.

You're right. I'm afraid it's from too much work and too little sleep.

I'll try to be more precise next time.

Thanks to everyone for their help.

pyqt and Eric 3

2005-04-27 Thread ChrisH
Are there any Eric 3 users out there?

I've been thinking about trying it.

Also, if I write scripts for internal use only at my company, do I have 
to purchase a Qt or pyqt license?

Thanks for the info!
