This article demonstrates the method of generating PDF files in Python, which is a practical function and mainly consists of two files. The specific implementation method is as follows:

PDF. Py file is as follows:


#!/usr/bin/python
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
def hello():
    c = canvas.Canvas("helloworld.pdf")
    c.drawString(100,100,"Hello,World")
    c.showPage()
    c.save()
hello()

The diskreport.py file is as follows:


#!/usr/bin/env python
import subprocess
import datetime
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.units import inch
def disk_report():
    p = subprocess.Popen("df -h", shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
#   print p.stdout.readlines()
    return p.stdout.readlines()
def create_pdf(input, output="disk_report.pdf"):
    now = datetime.datetime.today()
    date = now.strftime("%h %d %Y %H:%M:%S")
    c = canvas.Canvas(output)
    textobject = c.beginText()
    textobject.setTextOrigin(inch, 11*inch)
    textobject.textLines('''Disk Capcity Report: %s''' %date)
    for line in input:
        textobject.textLine(line.strip())
    c.drawText(textobject)
    c.showPage()
    c.save()
report = disk_report()
create_pdf(report)

Interested readers can debug the run, to improve the shortcomings to achieve the best use of the function!
