AI is taking over the world...let's get into it! OpenClaw, Claude Code, Manus, Perplexity, and whatever other weird AI stuff that comes along with a pinch of Python Programming thrown in from time to time. Check out my website JohnElder.AI and Codemy.com for more videos!

Video Description
In this video we'll use reportlab to automatically generate a pdf file of our venue list on the fly dynamically with Django and Python. Generating pdf files is super useful in any app, with Django it's pretty easy. We'll be using a library called Reportlab that we'll have to install, but it's pretty quick and easy to use. Users of our site will be able to click a link and download a pdf file with a list off all our venues, generated dynamically. So if we add another venue to the database, it will get added to the pdf file automatically. #django #codemy #JohnElder Timecodes 0:00 - Introduction 1:50 - Install Reportlab PDF Library 2:22 - Import Reportlab Items 3:50 - Create PDF URL in urls.py 4:09 - Create PDF Link in Navbar 4:35 - Create venue_pdf View in views.py 6:29 - Add Lines Of Text To PDF 7:23 - Draw PDF 7:44 - Return FileResponse 9:20 - Add Venue List To PDF 11:42 - Test It Out 12:25 - Check Out ReportLab Guide 13:08 - Conclusion
