Python to PDF via XSL-FO
As much as I love XSLT (half-kidding here), I have several applications to generate PDFs from databases, and from other sources that XSLT can't reach directly. Since I discovered SQLAlchemy (http://www.sqlalchemy.org), life is much nicer: In Python, I can pull data from SQL databases without getting any actual SQL on my paws. These applications use Python and its wonderful lxml module to produce XSL-FO files, which I can then run through XEP or FOP. I've built a little Python module to assist in the generation of XSL-FO: http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/projects/fohelpers If anyone finds this module useful, or if you have feedback on its usefulness, I would be delighted to hear from you. Are there other mailing lists that might reach potential users?
