But shop owner wants to do something nicer with the customer
receipts.
He is talking shop logos and pdf files.
The simplest technique is probably to generate an HTML file and then
get the OS to print that for you via the default browser.
Google keeps bringing up ReportLib and the python imaging library,
but
neither have a 3.x compatible version yet.
THats much harder work IMHO than using an HTML file as a template.
Shop owner is talking about eventually being able to save customer
check in tickets and check out tickets on a web site where clients
can
log in and check on their work.
And HTML woyuld definitely be easier here!
My thought is that this is perfect for PDF files, but they aren't
available on 3.x yet.
Well you could hand crank them, they are just text files after all.
But HTML is much easier to generate by hand!
I looked at word integration and openoffice integration and they
dont
look ready for 3.x yet either.
The Pywin32 and ctypes modules all work on Python 3 so you
could use COM integration, or even WSH. But HTML stioll gets
my vote.
