PyFPDF is a library for PDF document generation under Python, ported from PHP (see FPDF: "Free"-PDF, a well-known PDFlib-extension replacement with many examples, scripts and derivatives).

• Barcode I2of5 and code39, QR code coming soon ...
• PNG, GIF and JPG support (including transparency and alpha channel)
• Templates with a visual designer & basic html2pdf
• Exceptions support, other minor fixes, improvements and PEP8 code cleanups
