Meetings and Boredom continue

I am sitting on yet another boring meeting and have written a script to write it to a PDF. Its not a pretty one but I got it done in 30 mins. That has to count for something. You would need ReportLab and PIL for this.

	import re
	from reportlab.platypus import Image, SimpleDocTemplate, Spacer,Flowable
	from reportlab.lib.units import inch
	import dircache
	import Image as PILImage
	import os.path
	months = ["January", "Feburary", "March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"]
	class Bookmark(Flowable):
	def __init__(self,title,key,level):
	self.title=title
	self.key=key
	self.level=level
	Flowable.__init__(self)
	def wrap(self, availWidth, availHeight):
	return (0,0)
	def draw(self):
	self.canv.showOutline()
	self.canv.bookmarkPage(self.key)
	self.canv.addOutlineEntry(self.title,self.key,self.level, 0)
	base_dir='c:\\work\\toons\\dilbert\\'
	files=filter(lambda x: x.endswith('gif'),dircache.listdir(base_dir))
	doc=SimpleDocTemplate('dilbert.pdf')
	oldyear=0
	oldmonth=0
	contents=[]
	contents.append(Bookmark("Contents","Contents",0))
	for f in files:
	m=re.match(r'(\d\d\d\d)\-(\d\d)\-(\d\d)\.gif',f)
	if(m==None):
	continue
	m=m.groups()
	if(oldyear!=int(m[0]) or oldmonth!=int(m[1])):
	contents.append( Bookmark("" + months[int(m[1])-1] + " " + str(int(m[0])),"" + months[int(m[1])-1] + " " + str(int(m[0])),1))
	oldyear=int(m[0])
	oldmonth=int(m[1])
	#print os.path.join(base_dir,f)
	fname=os.path.join(base_dir,f)
	size=PILImage.open(fname).size
	#print size
	contents.append(Spacer(1,inch))
	contents.append(Image(fname,doc.width,size[1]*(doc.width/size[0])))
	print 'building...'
	doc.build(contents)
