Jasper Reports can export to html, csv, xls, rtf, odt, ods, txt, pdf.
You set the type in ir.actions.reports.xml (Settings->Customization
->Low Level Objects->Actions->Reports).
That should get the data in roughly the right shape. Then if necessary
you could add some code to jasper_report.py to polish it up, or post-
process it with an external tool.
