Below code is running successfully when I am passing HTML script in 'static_report'. How can I pass File name or URL in 'static_report'?

#Converting HTML To PDF
from xhtml2pdf import pisa

def convert_html_to_pdf(source_html, output_filename):
    # open output file for writing (truncated binary)
    result_file = open(output_filename, "w+b")

    # convert HTML to PDF
    pisa_status = pisa.CreatePDF(
            source_html,                # the HTML to convert
            dest=result_file)           # file handle to recieve result

    # close output file
    result_file.close()                 # close output file

    # return True on success and False on errors
    return pisa_status.err

static_report = ""
convert_html_to_pdf(static_report, 'report.pdf')

Using the pdfkit library, you can convert HTML into pdf. HTML can be a local page or URL as given in this link.
