A Python-based resume generator that creates beautiful HTML and PDF resumes from TOML data using Jinja2 templates.

• 10 Resume Templates: 5 light themes + 5 dark themes
• HTML & PDF Output: Generate both formats for easy distribution
• Responsive Design: Works on desktop, tablet, and mobile
• Print-Friendly: Optimized for both screen and print
• Customizable: Easy to modify templates and add new styles

1. Install Dependencies:

   # Install all dependencies (including optional PDF support)
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   
   # Or install manually
   pip install jinja2 weasyprint

   Note: This project requires Python 3.11+ (uses built-in tomllib).

2. Generate Resumes:

   python pysume.py resume.toml

   The script requires the path to your TOML resume file as an argument.

3. View Results:

   • HTML files: resumes/resume_*.html
   • PDF files: resumes/resume_*.pdf (if WeasyPrint installed)

• Default: Colorful Bootstrap design with gradients
• Minimal: Clean, minimalist design
• Corporate: Professional business style
• Creative: Modern, vibrant design with animations
• Compact: Single-page optimized layout

• Default Dark: Dark version of the default template
• Minimal Dark: Dark minimalist design
• Corporate Dark: Professional dark theme
• Creative Dark: Vibrant dark design with effects
• Compact Dark: Dark single-page layout

1. Create a new template file in templates/
2. Add it to the templates dictionary in pysume.py
   • Note: If your template filename contains dark (e.g., resume_template_minimal_dark.html), it will automatically trigger dark-theme CSS overrides in the generated PDF and HTML for that template.
3. Run the script to generate your HTML and PDF resumes.

• Required:
  • jinja2 - Template engine
  • tomllib - TOML parser (Python 3.11+ built-in)
• Optional:
  • weasyprint - PDF generation

See requirements.txt for specific versions.

Python Version: Python 3.11+ is required (for built-in tomllib support). Use tomli if you want to run this on a version < 3.11 for some reason.

• Linux: Install system dependencies (pango, harfbuzz, etc.)
• macOS: Install via Homebrew: brew install pango
• Windows: Should work out of the box

• Check that template files are in the templates/ folder
• Verify Jinja2 syntax in templates
• Ensure all required data fields are present in your TOML file

• Make sure you provide the TOML file path as an argument: python pysume.py <path/to/resume.toml>
• Verify the TOML file path is correct and the file exists

• Template Color Issues: Some templates may have color schemes that don't render well or have poor contrast. If you encounter this, try a different template or modify the template's CSS directly.

• PDF Generation Problems: Some templates may break or render incorrectly when converted to PDF format. This is often due to:

  • Complex CSS features not supported by WeasyPrint
  • Advanced animations or transitions
  • Certain layout properties that don't translate well to PDF

  Workaround: If a template fails to generate a PDF, try using the HTML version instead, or use your browser's print-to-PDF feature on the HTML file.
