“ IOError: decoder zip not available” xhtml2pdf

Question

"IOError: decoder zip not available" I get such error when i try to render pdf with image. I search answer how to fix it, but i found decision only for linux(but i use windows). How it can br fixed?

Here some python code:

  result = StringIO()            
            pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(StringIO(html.encode("UTF-8")), result, encoding="utf-8")
            filename = '%s_%s.pdf' % (name.capitalize(), datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%d-%m-%Y'))
            return Response(result.getvalue(), content_type='application/pdf',content_disposition='attachment; filename="%s"' % filename)

And i try to render base64, here code from mako:

<div><img src="data:image/png;base64,${img['actions'][0]['data']}"></div>

IOError: decoder zip not available

Answer 1

It looks like you have a PIL build without zip support Here's an answer containing a link to alternative PIL builds for Windows give those a try.
