+Python is a really good language to design a small, OS-agnostic library. As it

+with high-level classes and a small amount of very simple code.
And of course, WeasyPrint is written in Python too, giving an obvious reason
for this choice.
-Speed is not pydyf’s main goal. Code simplicity, maintainability and
-flexibility are more important goals for this library, as they give the
-ability to stay really close to the specification and to fix bugs easily.
