pydocmaker Simple Document Creation in Python

Icon

a minimal python document maker to create reports in the following formats:

  • pdf: PDF

  • md: Markdown

  • html: HTML

  • json: JSON

  • docx: Word docx

  • textile: Textile Markup language (with images as attachments)

  • typst: Typst Documents (with inline images)

  • ipynb: Jupyter/ IPython Notebooks

  • tex: Latex Documents (with external images)

  • redmine: Textile Markup language ready for upload to Redmine

Written purely in python, but with optional external non python dependencies.

NOTES:

  • some functions will try to call pandoc and fall back if not found.

  • exporting PDFs works with typst under the hood if its installed. Else a latex compiler such as pdflatex, lualatex, xelatex is needed

  • a subset of functions when working with docx documents (such as creating PDFs or updating references) need the win32com library and Microsoft Word installed in order to work.

Install via:

pip install pydocmaker

Optional requirements: Some features only work with optional requirements such as pandoc, LaTeX, pywin32com, and libreoffice for details see Installation.
