Not Zope and not hotel, but still... Have a look at http://www.apsis.ch/bar/index.html for an open-source reservations system written in Python. Making it into a Zope product would be feasible (though not trivial). -- Robert Segall

Have a look at http://www.apsis.ch/bar/index.html for an open-source reservations system written in Python. Making it into a Zope product would be feasible (though not trivial). I was looking also for a reservation system (I want to migrate my own from ZClasses to Python) and found that one that you suggested. If you want to use the product, then you have to install the Pyro version of that site, it doesn't work with the latest version. I got some errors, which I didn't remmember, but I can tell you that they were related to the Pyro structure itself. It seems that the api had changed a little bit. Be aware: the product is inflexible because it won't work without a postscript printer, almost all the important methods assume that you have it :-(

That's what ghostscript is for - it will take Postscript and happily render it for other devices. The problem is that quite a few tour operators have their own pre-printed stock (vouchers, tickets, etc.) and you somehow need to print in the right boxes. Anyway, this is getting a bit far from Zope - further discussion off the list I think. -- Robert Segall

Reportlab could do this (with little work useable in zope) Regards Tino

I've often used groff to print on these forms as you can do very precise positioning using the ``.sp |pos'' and similar commands. This works well with laser printers, particularly those that grok PostScript. With dot-matrix printers, it usually requires keeping track of line numbers and placing characters with some care on each line.
