xhtml2pdf is a Python library that allows you to convert HTML and CSS documents to PDF files. It is built on top of ReportLab, a powerful PDF generation library for Python.

xhtml2pdf makes it easy to convert HTML and CSS documents to PDF by using ReportLab's powerful layout engine to handle the rendering of the document.

The library supports a wide variety of HTML and CSS features, including tables, lists, images, and links. It also supports several popular CSS frameworks such as Bootstrap and Foundation.

with open('input.html', 'r') as html_file:
    html = html_file.read()
