Is there a common/most used/easiest way to create printed reports -- some import, or within Python itself? As a beginner, I really do not yet know what type report to use (PDF, etc) -- just whatever process is most common and works with the greatest number of printers, I guess - it does not matter. Thanks

Printed reports? The last I have seen was... over 20 years ago. PDF or HTML should be OK (browsable on a computer and easily printed).
Unless noted otherwise, code in my posts should be understood as "coding suggestions", and its use may require more neurones than the two necessary for Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V.

Well, what I meant was is there some import that formats (easier/better/etc) a report to be printed? or, just use the normal print format commands in python?

Searching PyPi for reporting brings up a huge list see https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=s...mit=search
what is your definition of a printed report? i can imagine in some businesses that lots of reports are substantially spreadsheets so i would expect XLS to be a commonly used format. i have seen people use a spreadsheet program as a text editor. but i can also not be surprised at reports in HTML or in PDF format. there are tools for python applications to produce all of these.
