[reportlab-users] headers and footers

[Bryan]

i'm having a really hard time finding information and an example of
how to add headers and footers using reportlab.  i've read the
documentation and searched google for days now and i still have no
clue what to do.  i would prefer to use the platypus way of coding if
i can.  can someone please show me a working hello world example of
headers and footers?

this is what i have so far which isn't much.

frame = Frame(x1=0*inch, y1=0*inch, width=7.6*inch, height=10.9*inch)

mainPage = PageTemplate(frames=frame)

section_style = ParagraphStyle('Bullet',
                               fontName='Times-Bold',
                               fontSize=12,
                               leading=30,
                               leftIndent=85,
                               firstLineIndent=40,
                               alignment=TA_LEFT,
                               bulletFontName='Times-Bold',
                               bulletFontSize=12,
                               bulletIndent=85)

paragraph_style = ParagraphStyle('Normal',
                                 fontName='Times-Roman',
                                 fontSize=12,
                                 leading=30,
                                 leftIndent=85,
                                 firstLineIndent=40,
                                 alignment=TA_JUSTIFY)

story = []


section = '<bullet>I.</bullet>INTRODUCTION'
paragraph = 'Paragraph...'

story.append(Paragraph(section, section_style))
story.append(Paragraph(paragraph, paragraph_style))
story.append(Paragraph(paragraph, paragraph_style))

buf = StringIO()
BaseDocTemplate(buf, pagesize=portrait(letter),
                pageTemplates=mainPage, leftMargin=72,
                title='Title', author='Author', showBoundary=0).build(story)

open('report.pdf', 'wb').write(buf.getvalue())
