Reports: first attempt #25

This will be the second phase of the project/product. The Query Engine will pass output to a Report Engine, which will place it in an attractive format in a PDF document.

In subsequent versions the Report Engine should generate its own queries for fancier reports.

If we are going to create pdfs directly, we should use reportlab.

Alternatively, as @erensezener suggested, we could generate html files, (e.g. with Beautiful Soup, with which everyone from the former scraping group is now familiar with) which could also be printed as pdfs if need be.

There is not enough time to implement a report engine that would generate reports automatically.
