## What it is
WeasyPrint is a Python visual rendering engine for HTML and CSS that exports documents to PDF, with a CSS layout engine designed for pagination. It lets web developers generate reports, invoices, tickets, and books from HTML/CSS without relying on a browser rendering engine.

## Use cases
- convert html to pdf in python
- generate invoices from html templates
- create statistical reports as pdf
- print html with css paged media
- generate tickets with barcodes from html
- render a book with table of contents to pdf

## When to choose
- you want to generate paginated PDFs from HTML and CSS in Python
- you need print-specific CSS features like page headers, footers, and multiple layouts
- you want a pure-Python alternative to headless browsers for PDF generation

## When to avoid
- you need pixel-perfect rendering of complex JavaScript-driven web pages
- you need a general-purpose browser or screenshot tool rather than PDF output
- you require a rendering engine based on WebKit or Gecko
