Looks like a couple of tools exist. I've focused on simple html text writers since I'll be crafting my report page structures completely from scratch. This may differ from the R2HTML which I would guess has a lot of convenience functionality for the sort of things one wishes to stuff into pages from R objects.
HTMLTags This fella wrote a module from scratch at this ActiveState community page: HTMLTags - generate HTML in Python (Python recipe). In the comments I discovered most of the tools I enumerate for this answer.
htmlgen This package looks pretty good and basic. I'm not sure if its the same module described in this old article.
XIST this one looks pretty legit and includes a parser as well. Here's some sample page generation code using the format that you'll need to use to interject all the appropriate python commands inbetween various html elements. The other format utilizes a bunch of nested function calls which will make the python interjection very awkward at best.
with xsc.build() :
with xsc.Frag() as myHtmlReport :
+xml.XML()
+html.DocTypeXHTML10transitional()
with html.html() :
reportTitle = "My report title"
with html.head() :
+meta.contenttype()
+html.title( reportTitle )
with html.body() :
# Insert title header
+html.h1( reportTitle )
with html.table() :
# Header Row
with html.tr() :
with html.td() :
+xsc.Text( "Col 1 Header" )
with html.td() :
+xsc.Text( "Col 2 Header" )
# Data Rows
for i in [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ] :
with html.tr() :
with html.td() :
+xsc.Text( "data1_" + str(i) )
with html.td() :
+xsc.Text( "data2_" + str(i) )
# Write the report to disk
with open( "MyReportfileName.html" , "wb" ) as f:
f.write( myHtmlReport.bytes( encoding="us-ascii" ) )
libxml2 through Python bindings there's a plain vanilla xmlwriter module, which is probably too generic but good to know about nonetheless. Windows binaries for this package can be found here.

There is a way, and it can look quite cool because you have unlimited option with html. Also if you are using plotly, the plots are already in html hence you can transfer them as they are and still keep the interactivity (zoom in, select etc)
First you create a template for Jinja. If the number of graphs is predefined then you just have a static one with placeholders (that's easier), otherwise you need to automate it. (using jinja )
Example of the template.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html style="text-align:center;">
<head>
<title> My Report </title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
....
<div class="main box_around">
<h2 id="%count_of_unique_obs_over_time"><span> Count of unique obs Over Time </span>
<hr style="width:60%;">
</h2>
<p style="font-size: 21px;">
<div style="overflow-y:scroll;height: 500px; " align="center"> {{count_of_missing_values_over_time_fig }}</div>
</p>
</div>
...
Then you input the graph. ( I use plotly that you can use the ".to_html()" method)
data = {
"table_name_clean":table_name_clean,
...
"count_of_unique_obs_over_time_fig": count_of_unique_obs_over_time_fig.to_html()
}
and finally you fill the template with the data and you save.
with open('html_template.html', 'r') as f:
html_string = f.read()
j2_template = Template(html_string )
with open(save_output_path, 'w') as f:
f.write(j2_template.render(data))
How can I generate an HTML report in python? - Stack Overflow
Creating an HTML report using Python
yay it worked
''' http_response = ( b'HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n' b'Connection: close\r\n' b'Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n' b'\r\n' ) + HTML_TEMPLATE.encode() with socket.socket() as s: s.bind(('localhost', 8080)) s.listen(1) webbrowser.open('http://localhost:8080/') s, _ = s.accept() s.recv(1024) # read the GET s.send(http_response) s.shutdown(socket.SHUT_RDWR) Edit: Oh, and if you need a good HTML template generator, use jinja2. You can keep all your scripts and CSS in their respective files, then mash them all together using templates and send them as above. More on reddit.comgenerate html file from python data analysis
I Made An Easy-To-Use Package That Creates Beautiful Html Reports From Jupyter Notebook
What other report formats can I create with Python library?
Does your Python via .NET library support creating HTML reports programmatically?
- Install Aspose.Words for Python via .NET
- Add a library reference (import the library) to your Python project
- Create a HTML template marked up with LINQ based syntax
- Load the HTML template document
- Load your data from the data source: files, databases, or custom objects
- Build a report by passing your HTML template and data to a 'ReportingEngine' instance
- Save the generated report as a separate file
How to build HTML report?

I keep working on certain projects that produce data. The data changes everyday and it needs to be presentable in the form of clean tables for inference.
What I've done so far :- Create a parameterised jinja html template (with for loops and stuff) , put the right pieces at the right places, and render the html table
And I'm not really a front end person, is there any other approach (libraries, tools, etc ) that i could use to make life easier and work on the project itself rather than these html reports...!
Thanks in advance.
