Certificate

✓ from certificates import Certificate

✗ from certificates import Certificate

Create a basic certificate with default template and save as PDF.

from certificates import Certificate from datetime import datetime cert = Certificate( name="Jane Doe", event="PyCon 2024", date=datetime(2024, 5, 10), template="modern" ) cert.generate("jane_doe_certificate.pdf") print("Certificate generated!")

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 2.3.0, the API was restructured: `Certificate` now requires a `template` argument (string). Omitting it will raise a TypeError.

fix

Pass `template='modern'` or another valid template name.

affects: >=2.3.0

deprecatedThe `from certificates.event import CertificateEvent` import path is deprecated since 2.3.0. Use `from certificates import CertificateEvent` instead.

fix

Change import to `from certificates import CertificateEvent`.

affects: >=2.3.0,<3.0

gotchaThe library requires Python >=3.12. Installing on older Python versions will fail.

fix

Ensure Python 3.12 or higher is used.

affects: >=2.3.0
