What is www.reportlab.com? Anyone encountered it with their students?

ReportLab is the framework that ChatGPT uses to output PDFs. If you're getting PDFs generated in report lab, those assignments were done with AI. More on reddit.com

Is the Python PDF generator library ReportLab easy to learn?

Reportlab is A MESS! The documentation is very confusing, there aren't really any tutorials or YouTube videos to help you. I would avoid Reportlab. Maybe have a look at xhtml2pdf. It's based on Reportlab, but pretty easy to use. Although it's not really actively maintained. More on reddit.com

Can someone point me to a reportlab platypus guide?

I haven’t used it, but have you tried going through ReportLab’s PLATYPUS documentation ? It seems to at least cover high level usage. More on reddit.com

Problems with reportlab library

I'm not sure what you expect to see in the reportlab module. The tutorials I see don't do import reportlab, they do things like from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas: Python 3.10.6 (main, Mar 10 2023, 10:55:28) [GCC 11.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import reportlab >>> dir(reportlab) ['Version', '__builtins__', '__cached__', '__date__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__min_python_version__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__', '__version__', '_fake_import', 'cmp', 'os', 'sys'] >>> from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas >>> # works fine >>> import reportlab.pdfbase >>> # works fine >>> dir(reportlab.pdfbase) ['__builtins__', '__cached__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__loader__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__spec__', '__version__', '_fontdata', '_fontdata_enc_macexpert', '_fontdata_enc_macroman', '_fontdata_enc_pdfdoc', '_fontdata_enc_standard', '_fontdata_enc_symbol', '_fontdata_enc_winansi', '_fontdata_enc_zapfdingbats', '_fontdata_widths_courier', '_fontdata_widths_courierbold', '_fontdata_widths_courierboldoblique', '_fontdata_widths_courieroblique', '_fontdata_widths_helvetica', '_fontdata_widths_helveticabold', '_fontdata_widths_helveticaboldoblique', '_fontdata_widths_helveticaoblique', '_fontdata_widths_symbol', '_fontdata_widths_timesbold', '_fontdata_widths_timesbolditalic', '_fontdata_widths_timesitalic', '_fontdata_widths_timesroman', '_fontdata_widths_zapfdingbats', 'pdfdoc', 'pdfmetrics', 'pdfutils', 'rl_codecs'] So just because you don't see pdfgen in the reportlab module doesn't mean you can't import pdfgen or parts of it.
