brew install weasyprint v69.0 BSD-3-Clause

Python library and command-line tool to convert HTML/CSS to PDF documents.

Why you might care

WeasyPrint renders standards-compliant HTML and CSS directly to PDF without a headless browser, making it lightweight and fast for programmatic document generation. It's ideal for Python workflows that need to generate invoices, reports, or certificates from templates. Use it when you want precise CSS control over PDF output without Chromium/Firefox overhead.
