PdfLetter

Produces a letter in html and pdf.

As I am new to wiki(and MoinMoin), this is my test for learning MoinMoin. If you read the code and say to yourself what is this guy doing, please point me in the right direction. I will put it up at ProcessorMarket when I think its usable.

I didn't try it out yet, but the code looks quite ok. A few small issues:

• standard indentation in python / MoinMoin is 4 blanks (no TABs)

• read http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0008.txt

•     split=line.split('=')
      if split>-1 and split[0].strip() in keys:

  Fixed to

      split=line.split('=')
      if len(split)>1 and split[0].strip() in keys:

  That doesn't work.

Fixed the indention and the bug, Thanks - FredrikBjornsson

I made the script running under Python 2.3 and MoinMoin 1.3 with two minor changes

• attDir=AttachFile.getAttachDir(request,formatter.page.page_name,create=1)  added request in the function call

• open(attDir+'report.pdf','wb') added b to do a binary write
