Has anyone created a wxPython app over a database back end and used either
papyrus or ReportLab/Preppy to format reports from the table data?

Dabo uses reportlab. There's even a fully-functional Visual Report Designer. Perhaps check the screencasts first:

Thank you, Paul. I was leaning toward ReportLab because they have more
documentation supporting their efforts.
The reports will be fixed in our model and no user generated, ad hoc,
reports will be available. All folks really care about are inputs and
output.
Thanks,
Rich

I use Report Manager (http://reportman.sourceforge.net/ ) and call it from within Python using reportman.py (a ctypes wrapper of RM's ocx).

I'd like to piggyback on this topic a bit. I'm looking for alternatives to Crystal Reports; that is, reports in the typical data reporting sense (headers/footers, grouping, statistics, ...), rather than document generators. It looks like Report Manager is in this space; is that correct? Are there other OSS alternatives, or even commercial ones that integrate well with Python?
Thanks,

I would say so. I never extensible used Crystal, so can't really compare features. The developer seems be pretty active and if ever you have something urgent you can also pay him to implement a feature.

I think the one Dabo uses is to be considered too, at the time I looked at it did not have a report designer.

That's ReportLab. The report designer is called Platypus:
'Platypus stands for "Page Layout and Typography Using Scripts". It is a
high level page layout library which lets you programmatically create
complex documents with a minimum of effort.
'The design of Platypus seeks to separate "high level" layout decisions from
the document content as much as possible. Thus, for example, paragraphs are
constructed using paragraph styles and pages are constructed using page
templates with the intention that hundreds of documents with thousands of
pages can be reformatted to different style specifications with the
modifications of a few lines in a single shared file which contains the
paragraph styles and page layout specifications.'

From this description, I gather that ReportLab is what I called a "document generator", much more multi-purpose than what I have in mind, which is focused on generating things like the typical data report with columns, subtotals, grand totals, headers and footers for report "groups", etc. Of course, one could add that capability on top of ReportLab, but I'rather not take that on if I don't have to.

Hi Werner!
Thank you for this valuable hint. Where can I find ``reportman.py``?
Google doesn´t find it for me.

Gerold

Nor for me anymore, maybe Oleg can give us the link - he pointed me to this some time ago.
But, I just sent a response to Chris Mellon to this list with the file attached.

PyReportManager-0.1.0.zip is downloadable from the files section of yahoo reportman group:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/reportman/
But on some unknown reason this section is available only for group members...

Look at this link: Using Report Manager from Python (I got to it from the main Report Manager page, clicked on Documentation, then on the left side "Other Languages", then Python. It shows how to use the ActiveX control as well as pointing to the PyDocs for reportman.py; unfortunately, the link there to the source won't work; it's a file:// link to the C drive...

I don't think there is a wxButton up/down event, but you could maybe use the mouse left/right up/down event.

How will i find that on which button
mouse up/down event has occured.
Since i am using Button “ABC”
…When button ABC pressed then i do something …& when it released
then i will do something different.
e.g
In Multi media player … for Fast Forward
buttun
When FF button pressed then it forward
the movie & when its up then it start playing.
Something like this i want to do.

Maybe you want to use a toggle button, e.g.
wx.lib.buttons.GenToggleButton
wx.lib.buttons.GenBitmapToggleButton
Werner
You need to bind to the mouse left down and mouse left up events,
rather than the button event. These would be wx.EVT_LEFT_DOWN and
wx.EVT_LEFT_UP.
