Weasyprint or Reportlab for generating Django reports on Heroku
I have foremost experience of Reportlab. To get it up and running requires quite lot of effort from your side, it does not work "out of the box" and involves lot of programming (you need to create templates, build logic around text, build routines around batch jobs etc.). It installs as a normal PIP package, but then you need to start programming to get it working.
However, it looks like Weasyprint uses another technology to generate pdf (CSS for print) which might be a more readily accessible solution if you already have pages formatted with CSS.
Trying to decide on the best route for generating server-side pdf reports within my app currently deployed on Heroku. I've read several posts that say both require installation external libraries- but haven't found anything describing functionality & ease of install on Heroku.
Does anyone here have experience installing either to an app on Heroku? Is it a difficult process- is one easier to setup on Heroku than the other? Or if I am able to install on my local system and run PIP Freeze, will that take care of any installs necessary on Heroku?
Thanks!!
