Thread: Formatted printing output

Hi,

I,ve made a functional database table with names, addresses etc of some
50 members of a group which I serve as secretary.
I've bought Bruce Momjian's book which has been very helpful as far as
I've gone up to date but...
Now I want to produce formatted print output - mailing labels or print
envelopes, produce reports etc.
How do I do that?
I'm running Mandrake Linux 8.1

regards
Dave Dartnall.

I use the reportlab toolkit

http://www.reportlab.com/toolkit/index.html

to generate my reports, mailings etc. as pdf files from python (accessing pgsql via psycopg
http://www.initd.org/software/psycopg). Simple reports via Zope to
print by the user via the browser.

Other, easier solutions?
