function generate_report
Generates a text-based statistical analysis report from session data and saves it to the configured reports folder.

simple
Purpose
This function creates a formatted text report containing session information, analysis summary statistics, and detailed results. It serves as a placeholder implementation for report generation that can be extended to support multiple output formats. The report includes session metadata, step counts, plot information, and serialized results, saved with a timestamped filename.

Statistical Analysis Report
Session ID: {session_id}

Session Information:
- Title: {summary['session'].get('title', 'Untitled')}
- Description: {summary['session'].get('description', 'No description')}
- Status: {summary['session'].get('status', 'Unknown')}
Summary:
- Total Steps: {summary['summary']['total_steps']}
- Successful Steps: {summary['summary']['successful_steps']}
- Plots Generated: {summary['summary']['plots_generated']}
Results:

Parameters
| Name | Type | Default | Kind |
|---|---|---|---|
session_id |
str | - | positional_or_keyword |
summary |
Dict[str, Any] | - | positional_or_keyword |
format_type |
str | - | positional_or_keyword |
Parameter Details
session_id: Unique identifier string for the analysis session. Used to label the report and track which session the report belongs to.
summary: Dictionary containing session data with expected keys: 'session' (dict with title, description, status), 'summary' (dict with total_steps, successful_steps, plots_generated), and 'results' (any serializable data structure containing analysis results).
format_type: String specifying the desired report format (e.g., 'txt', 'pdf', 'html'). Currently not used in the placeholder implementation but intended for future format selection.
Return Value
Type: str
Returns a Path object (or string representation of path) pointing to the generated report file. The filename follows the pattern 'analysis_report_{session_id}_{timestamp}.txt' where timestamp is in YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS format. The file is saved in the app_config.REPORTS_FOLDER directory.

# Assume app_config is configured with REPORTS_FOLDER
# from config import app_config
summary_data = {
'session': {
'title': 'Sales Analysis Q4',
'description': 'Quarterly sales performance analysis',
'status': 'completed'
},
'summary': {
'total_steps': 5,
'successful_steps': 4,
'plots_generated': 2
},
'results': {
'mean_sales': 15000.50,
'total_revenue': 450000,
'top_product': 'Widget A'
}
}

format_type='txt'
)
print(f'Report generated at: {report_path}')
Best Practices
- Ensure app_config.REPORTS_FOLDER exists and is writable before calling this function
- The summary dictionary should contain all expected keys ('session', 'summary', 'results') to avoid KeyError exceptions
- Consider implementing error handling for file write operations in production use
- The format_type parameter is currently unused; implement format-specific logic when extending this function
- Use json.dumps with default=str to handle non-serializable objects in results
- Consider adding file size limits or cleanup mechanisms for old reports to prevent disk space issues
- The function overwrites files with the same timestamp if called multiple times in the same second; consider adding microseconds or UUID to filename for uniqueness
