View mixin and utils to generate PDF documents from html using xhtml2pdf

View mixin and utils to generate PDF documents from html using *xhtml2pdf*. The most interesting thing here is *PDFTemplateResponseMixin*. Adding this mixin to class based views allows automatic pdf generation using the view context and a customized template. There is also the lower level function *render_to_pdf*, similar to what can be seen in [snippet 659](http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/659/). See the docstrings for a detailed explanation.

Dynamically insert or append a value to an admin option, e.g. list_display or list_filter

You can use this function to change an admin option dynamically. For example, you can add a custom callable to *list_display* based on request, or if the current user has required permissions, as in the example below: class MyAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin): list_display = ('__unicode__', 'other_field') def changelist_view(self, request, extra_context=None): if request.user.is_superuser: add_dynamic_value(self, 'list_display', my_custom_callable) return super(MyAdmin, self).changelist_view(request, extra_context)
