JSON data + RML template = PDF report
summary
Creates PDF files by rendering JSON data into RML templates using ReportLab (Z3C.RML) and Genshi with XInclude; avoids LaTeX because of disk limits and uses RML + Genshi templating to separate content, style and initialization. Generates charts on the fly via Matplotlib and inserts PNGs, supports PDF forms and merging with PyPDF, streams pages to disk rather than holding entire output in memory, and is compact enough to work successfully under tight disk constraints.
