How can I generate a report file (ODF, PDF) from a django view

Question

I would like to generate a report file from a view&template in django. Preferred file formats would be OpenOffice/ODF or PDF.

What is the best way to do this?

I do want to reuse the page layout defined in the template, possibly by redefining some blocks in a derived template.

Ideally, the report should be inserted into an existing template file so I can provide the overall page layout, headers and footer in the generated output format.

Not quite a duplicate, as I am looking for a way to re-use my django templates. Thanks for the hint though. — Ber

pisa/xhtml2pdf should get you covered for PDF. It even includes an example Django project.
