Printing html
Is there a way to directly print generated html files without prompting the print setup form? Thanks in advance.

I'n not sure exactly what you mean here, but if your generating a HTML file and want to print the contents of that file then you would do something like:

Code:
>>> print file('some/path/some.html').read()
...


Chances are that this isn't what you want, so a few more details about what you're doing would probably help .

Have fun,

Mark.

If you want instead see the file with a browser (for ex. Mozilla), from
which you can (if you want) see the html source...

Code:
import os
os.system('mozilla some/path/some.html')

From the running browser, you can, of course, also send the file or the html source to a printer.
If the command succeed (that is you have the browser in the execution path and the html file is present) a "0" is returned to the function "system".

Code:
import webbrowser
webbrowser.open_new("url")

Thanks, but what I really wanted is to print (send the request to printer) without prompting the print setup dialog before the print. Let's say I'm generating a report, then after the report is done, I prompt a small message box (not print setup dialog), if ok, print immediately, else do nothing. Izzit possible?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming we're talking about a windows machine here then you're best bet would be to check out Mark Hammond's win32all extensions:
