I’m looking for a way to enable foreign chars in my reporting output. The output is HTML that I convert to PDF to make appengine send a PDF email. The output can’t handle int. chars eg. åäö:
The code that makes the report is
class Report(webapp2.RequestHandler):
def get(self):
# Create a conversion request from HTML to PDF.
users = User.query()
today = date.today()
startdate = date(today.year, today.month, 1) # first day of month
html = None
for user in users:
if user.activity() > 0:
logging.info('found active user %s %s' % (user.firstname, user.lastname))
html = '<html><body><table border="1">'
level = user.level()
distributor = user
while distributor.has_downline():
downline = User.query(User.sponsor == distributor.key).order(User.lastname).fetch()
for person in downline: # to this for whole downline
orders = model.Order.all().filter('distributor_id =' , person.key.id()).filter('created >' , startdate).filter('status =', 'PAID').fetch(999999)
silver = 0
name = person.firstname +' '+ person.lastname
for order in orders:
logging.info('found orders')
for idx,item in enumerate(order.items):
purchase = model.Item.get_by_id(long(item.id()))
amount = int(order.amounts[idx])
silver = silver + amount*purchase.silver/1000.000
if len(name) > 13:
name = name[13]
html = html + '<tr><td>' + str(order.created.date().day)+'/'+ str(order.created.date().month )+'</td><td>' + filters.makeid(person.key.id()) +'</td><td>' + name + '</td><td>' + str(order.key().id()) + '</td><td>' + str(silver)
dist_level = order.dist_level
bonus = 0
if level == 5 and dist_level == 4:
bonus = 0.05
if level == 5 and dist_level == 3:
bonus = 0.1
if level == 5 and dist_level == 2:
bonus = 0.13
if level == 5 and dist_level == 1:
bonus = 0.35
if level == 4 and dist_level == 3:
bonus = 0.05
if level == 4 and dist_level == 2:
bonus = 0.08
if level == 4 and dist_level == 1:
bonus = 0.3
if level == 3 and dist_level == 2:
bonus = 0.03
if level == 3 and dist_level == 1:
bonus = 0.25
if level == 2 and dist_level == 1:
bonus = 0.2
html = html + '</td><td>' + str(bonus) + '</td><td>' + str(order.total)
bonusmoney = bonus * float(order.total)
html = html + '</td><td>' + str(bonusmoney) + '</td></tr>'
distributor = person
html = html + '</table>'
asset = conversion.Asset("text/html", html, "test.html")
conversion_obj = conversion.Conversion(asset, "application/pdf")
rpc = conversion.create_rpc()
conversion.make_convert_call(rpc, conversion_obj)
result = rpc.get_result()
if result.assets:
for asset in result.assets:
logging.info('emailing report')# to %s' % user.email)
message = mail.EmailMessage(sender='noreply@bnano.se',
subject='Report %s %s' % (user.firstname, user.lastname))
message.body = 'Here is the monthly report'
message.to = 'niklasro@gmail.com'
message.bcc = 'fridge@koolbusiness.com'
message.attachments = ['report.pdf', asset.data]
message.send()
logging.info('message sent')
What should be done to enable foreign chars in this case?
Thanks
You should add
<head>to thehtml = '<html><body><table border="1">',This should contain meta tag:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">If utf-8 charset won’t help, maybe some iso-8859-x will.
