xhtml2pdf child elements show border of parent elements - python

Hoping someone may have solved this problem. Haven't seen anyone with it on Google.
I'm using xhtml2pdf in Python, trying to generate a simple document with a header, footer and my content is blocks of text with titles. I'd like to have a border around each piece of content but instead I get borders around each child element instead.
Here's my HTML
#page {
size: letter;
border: 0;
#frame header_frame {
-pdf-frame-content: header;
border: 0pt solid white;
left: .75in;
width: 7in;
top: .5in;
height: 1.5in;
}
#frame content_frame {
border: 0pt solid white;
left: .75in;
width: 7in;
top: 1.5in;
height: 7.5in;
}
#frame footer_frame {
-pdf-frame-content: footer;
border: 0pt solid white;
left: .75in;
width: 7in;
top: 9.5in;
height: 1in;
}
}
h1 {
padding-top: 5pt;
}
.desc {
margin-top: 3px;
margin-bottom: 3px;
padding: 3px;
border: 1px solid blue;
}

I'm just running the xhtml2pdf command line tool at the moment so there's no python to show. One thing I did notice when I run it in debug mode it shows "xhtml = false" even though I have an XHTML DTD. I'm not sure if this would make a difference.
Here's what I see in the browser and roughly what I expect the pdf to look like (ignoring the footer location of course):
Instead I get:
EDIT: I figured out that xhtml is an option to pass but passing it fails unless one has an old version of html5lib installed. Looks like the answer to my question is this library is not being actively maintained and I need to find a new solution :-/

How to generate already modified reports in python

I write a program in python that generates 5 reports. One of them is just text and the rest is a data frame. Right now my reports have a really simple design(basic). I need to modify the program to give user ready report that looks good and clear. In 4 of them, I need to add some text before df. The text should be formatted, just like my df. I try to do it using HTML, but I have a problem. I don't know how to modify a table. I wanted to use <style> to make some modifications but there is a problem. First I will show you my code:
html = f'''

In my code I use f''', I need it to insert my data frame, but in this case, my code between table and </style> is no longer text and gonna generates an error. My code in style -> table is random I just wanted to check if this gonna work. Is any way to do it right? Maybe is a much better solution that I don't know. My report doesn't need to be an HTML file. In the beginning, I wanted to write it in excel but I don't know how.
Any help will be great. Thanks for any help.

css display: block is not working on flask?

I'm starting learning flask and I'm planning on makin a sorting algorithm visualizer using flask and I'm tryin to represent the elements of the array as bars (the height of the bars is = to the value of each element in the array). I'm thinking to use the display: block but it does not appear on the page. Pls help me or suggest anything if this is possible
html file:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Sample</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ url_for('static', filename='design.css') }}">
</head>
<body>
<div class="bar">
<p>test</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
css file:
.bar{
display: inline-block;
height: 120px;
width: 5px;
background-color: red;
color: white;
}
this what only shows on my page. other css property works well this display: bar was the only problem
Normally this is an issue with browser caching. If you did not use a file and added it directly to <head> it should work
<head>
<style>
.bar{
display: inline-block; /*You want block or inline-block?*/
height: 120px;
width: 5px;
background-color: red;
color: white;
}
</style>
</head>
If you really want to use the css file, use versioning in the url:
/static/design.css/?v=1 next time /static/design.css/?v=2
But it becomes tedious. You can add a random variable like this:
import uuid
v = str(uuid.uuid4())
# url_for('static', filename='design.css', v=v)
Please clarify your answer using a screenshot of what is happening now

All of these works if I start it in any snippet, or if I just run sidebar.html from pycharm in google, but when I start my site it doesn't work and gives an error: Not Found: /style.css/
Both files are on the same directory.
Easy fix, but you will need to dig into Django a bit more.
First, this tag <link rel="stylesheet" href=style.css/> will never work. The tag is written wrong on a few levels. The big problem is that the location is relative, the use of style.css is assumed to be on the same directory level as what ever page/script/etc is being called. The problem is that wsgi.py or similar file is actually the "root" that is "running" the site and has no idea where "style.css" exists and also deos not care.
Styles, image, js, etc are all stored as static assets in Django. This folder is "served" using a static tag that will transform to the correct path per your configuration for local dev and production. Take a look here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/static-files/
I will not explain all the nuance, the Django site does a better job. Instead I will point out how Django is different from static sites or something like PHP. Django is an application running in the CGI (WSGI), there is only one "route" on the server so to speak, all data is served from this one file. PHP can and typically does serve data in a file+directory manner. In PHP/static scenario the location of files is stable compared to Django. In Django the page, url, and the way data is served all come from one point. That means the relationship to static files will be different and not something you can or should control.
Django does not want you to ever serve static files through the CGI (WSGI), that is a waste of CPU and resources and is slow for static. So they have a static system. When running locally with the configuration set up correctly and DEBUG=True then the static keyword will transform to the necessary local path in conjunction with your configuration.
When in production it is assumed that a CDN is used, in that case the static keyword is replaced with the path (URL) to the CDN static files.
The approach Django uses is much more mature than say, Wordpress where use of a CDN can be tricky (I have written custom CDNs for WP many times, not fun).
Walk through the link above, set up your configuration correctly and follow the rules. Django is very interested in your following of the rules, Deviation will only cause pain. I have been primarily a Django dev for almost 10 years now. The problem you ran into got me real good in the beginning, but now CDN and static file management is second nature and definitely more productive than other less mature systems.
Set static root on your 'settings.py'.
You're gonna want to change <link rel="stylesheet" href=style.css/> to <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"/>. Also, the path it is trying to find your style.css file in is like this: (whatever path to your sidebar.html)/sidebar.html/style.css. I doubt that it is located there. If it is located in the same directory as your sidebar.html file, try <link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css"/>

Corey Schafer Django (Part 3): HTML not formatting right

So I'm going through Corey Schafer's Django series, and I'm at the part where he is building the HTML template for the website and for some reason it isn't formatting correctly. I downloaded his repository and re-ran his code and still got the same error? The only difference that I can think of is that he is using Django 2.1 and I'm using Django 3.0 but that shouldn't be it.
Here is how it looks:
Here is how it should look:
And lastly this is his Github for the link: https://github.com/CoreyMSchafer/code_snippets/tree/master/Django_Blog/03-Templates
Edit: Got it working. You have to do four steps:
(1) Delete integrity and crossorigin from this line in the base.html (line 11)
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-Gn5384xqQ1aoWXA+058RXPxPg6fy4IWvTNh0E263XmFcJlSAwiGgFAW/dAiS6JXm" crossorigin="anonymous">
To get this:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
(2) Update your static/blog/main.css with this code:
body {
background: #fafafa;
color: #333333;
margin-top: 5rem;
}
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
color: #444444;
}
ul {
margin: 0;
}
.bg-steel {
background-color: #5f788a;
}
.site-header .navbar-nav .nav-link {
color: #cbd5db;
}
.site-header .navbar-nav .nav-link:hover {
color: #ffffff;
}
.site-header .navbar-nav .nav-link.active {
font-weight: 500;
}
.content-section {
background: #ffffff;
padding: 10px 20px;
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
border-radius: 3px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
.article-title {
color: #444444;
}
a.article-title:hover {
color: #428bca;
text-decoration: none;
}
.article-content {
white-space: pre-line;
}
.article-img {
height: 65px;
width: 65px;
margin-right: 16px;
}
.article-metadata {
padding-bottom: 1px;
margin-bottom: 4px;
border-bottom: 1px solid #e3e3e3
}
.article-metadata a:hover {
color: #333;
text-decoration: none;
}
.article-svg {
width: 25px;
height: 25px;
vertical-align: middle;
}
.account-img {
height: 125px;
width: 125px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 16px;
}
.account-heading {
font-size: 2.5rem;
}
(3) Update your templates/blog/home.html with this code:
{% extends "blog/base.html" %}
{% block content %}
{% for post in posts %}
<article class="media content-section">
<div class="media-body">
<div class="article-metadata">
<a class="mr-2" href="#">{{ post.author }}</a>
<small class="text-muted">{{ post.date_posted }}</small>
</div>
<h2><a class="article-title" href="#">{{ post.title }}</a></h2>
<p class="article-content">{{ post.content }}</p>
</div>
</article>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock content %}
(4) Close your server, and clear your browser from everything (cookies included)
Solution: A small change in your "main.css" file, add !important at the
end of color hash as:
.bg-steel {
background-color: #5f788a!important;
}
=========================================================
Explanation:
You will have to understand the concept of overriding of CSS.
If a component is loading with "!important" in the parent CSS such as:
background-color: #5f788a!important;
instead of just:
background-color: #5f788a;
In such cases, you will not be able to override it in your custom/child CSS because !important declares it important and can't be overridden directly.
However, you can still override it in the custom CSS by applying !important at the end of the value of the component just the way I did above.
====================================================
You may be confused about Why did it work in Corey's CSS ?
Answer: The version of bootstrap Corey used in the tutorial was not rendering the background-color with the term !important at the end and hence he was able to override it directly. But nowadays, bootstrap color classes render with background-color: #5f788a!important; and hence can't be overridden directly.
Hope I could help you out.

Right now I'm fully suspecting something is wrong with your custom css.
First reason: bg-steel is not a default color, so you need to write it somewhere else. However, even with the line below, the navbar didn't show up.
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-dark bg-steel fixed-top">
Second reason: for a division to have a border, header, and content with margins applied, you either use a default card class or you implement one on your own -- found in this line, which also didn't work.
<article class="media content-section">
Third reason: obvious enough, the background colors are different. In your code, it's pure white, which is what bootstrap's default comes with. If the custom sheet is applied, the background color will then look darker.
Here's what I'll suggest you do:
Go to your HTML or settings.py (if you used {% load static %}) file and check whether your static or import paths are correct
Go through the video one more time and make sure you have no typos.
As a matter of fact, the javascript files ARE necessary. If you don't include them, things like dropdowns and modals won't work properly.

Python terminal in html?

You can downvote this before you read (Edit:Thank you for understanding) because of the title but other questions just answers how to run python programs in html but what I want to do is use python terminal in html.
So guys there is actually big big question in my head. How exactly can I use python program in html like it is a terminal.
Here is my project, it will be an interactive dictionary that you can study on vocabulary.

I want this places act like a python terminal. When the page loads it will run the program, it will not affect any other thing and act like an independent thing but it will stay on the page and will be interactive.
Is that possible and If it is, how?
Thank you!
What are you trying to do here exactly? If you really want to run python script with HTML then go for CGI. As you can't run python directly you may have to use the below,
http://karrigell.sourceforge.net/en/pythoninsidehtml.html
or
http://www.skulpt.org/
But best way would be to use python-cgi programming https://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/python_cgi_programming.htm
It is impossible.
I had this question myself before. Clearly the intention was make room for other scripts, at least I think this way:
<script type="text/javascript">
<script type="text/python">
It would require a browser that implements this. Maybe this engine: https://www.gnu.org/software/pythonwebkit/
