Welcome to the ReportLab Open Source site. Here you will find access to our open-source goodies including the ReportLab Toolkit, documentation and lots more.

 

ReportLab, since its early beginnings, has been a strong supporter of open-source. In the past we have found the feedback and input from our open-source community an invaluable aid to the development of our products, and we wish to encourage the widest possible use and the maximum amount of benefit for our users in the future.

Because of this, we have released as open-source:

  • The ReportLab Open Source PDF library (the ReportLab Toolkit) - our proven industry-strength PDF generating solution, that you can use for meeting your requirements and deadlines in reporting systems
  • PyRXP - the fastest validating XML parser available for Python, and quite possibly anywhere!
  • Preppy - ReportLab's versatile text-preprocessor
  • PythonPoint - make your very own presentations that can be viewed by anyone with a PDF-viewer!

Note, all our products are cross-platform and known to work with Windows, Macintosh (8/9 & OS X), Solaris, AIX, Linux, FreeBSD and more.


If you would like to know more you can look at our projects pages, download the software, or read the documentation.
