<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 580710 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173351/">Vasudev Ram</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/conversion/">conversion</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/csv/">csv</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/data/">data</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/files/">files</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/formats/">formats</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf/">pdf</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/pdf_generation/">pdf_generation</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/xtopdf/">xtopdf</a>). </p> <p>This recipe shows how to read data from a CSV file with a D program and write that data to a PDF file with a Python program - all in a single command-line invocation (after writing the individual programs, of course).</p> <p>It requires the xtopdf toolkit, which you can get from:</p> <p><a href="https://bitbucket.org/vasudevram/xtopdf" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/vasudevram/xtopdf</a></p> <p>Instructions for installing xtopdf:</p> <p><a href="http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2012/07/guide-to-installing-and-using-xtopdf.html" rel="nofollow">http://jugad2.blogspot.in/2012/07/guide-to-installing-and-using-xtopdf.html</a></p> <p>xtopdf in turn requires the open source version of the ReportLab toolkit, which you can get from:</p> <p><a href="http://www.reportlab.com/ftp" rel="nofollow">http://www.reportlab.com/ftp</a> (<a href="http://www.reportlab.com/ftp/reportlab-1.21.1.tar.gz%29" rel="nofollow">http://www.reportlab.com/ftp/reportlab-1.21.1.tar.gz)</a></p> <p>It also requires the DMD compiler to compile the D program - this was the version used:</p> <p>DMD32 D Compiler v2.071.2</p>

This tool dumps data in character and hex formats, in this version. This is data_dump.py version 1.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>This code is kids level Analogue Data-Logger(/Transient-Recorder), using the Arduino series of dev' boards.</p> <p>It is no where near completion and is a second feeder/feeler upload only.</p> <p>It is designed to work from Classic Text Mode Python from Versions 1.4.0 to 2.7.2 on a Classic AMIGA, WinUAE, Linux and Windows, (32 bit), to Vista. Not tested on Python for Windows 7, (32 bit), nor Mac OSX flavours as I don't have these OSes.</p> <p>Linux versions run from a default root terminal for the time being.</p> <p>The Arduino dev' board IS catered for in the code for the above platforms just thoroughly read the code for more information. It defaults to a DEMO mode so you can see it working...</p> <p>The test code for the Arduino Diecimila Dev Board is here:-</p> <p><a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577625-arduino-diecimila-board-access-inside-winuae-demo/" rel="nofollow">http://code.activestate.com/recipes/577625-arduino-diecimila-board-access-inside-winuae-demo/</a></p> <p>Enjoy finding simple solutions to often very difficult problems... ;o)</p> <p>Bazza, G0LCU...</p>
