I am looking for a way to print a custom feature form created in PyQt Designer for QGIS 2.4 using PyQGIS. My goal is to print/save image as the current extent of the map with the selected feature's attributes of interest on the same page.

I'm experimenting with two different ways:

First, is to use QgsComposition and QPrinter to add and print items to a pdf: including the map, legend, and attributes. My issue here is getting the only the desired attributes to display dynamically changing depending on the active layer. If I could add my feature form as a map item, I would be displaying the attributes added to the custom form.

UPDATE: The following code may be able to display only desired attributes, but I still have some issues with the table (no text in the table, positioning):

layer = qgis.utils.iface.activeLayer()

qgis.utils.iface.actionZoomToSelected().trigger()
qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas().zoomScale(1000)

mapRenderer = iface.mapCanvas().mapRenderer()
c = QgsComposition(mapRenderer)
c.setPlotStyle(QgsComposition.Print)
x, y = 0, 0
w, h = c.paperWidth(), c.paperHeight()
composerMap = QgsComposerMap(c, x,y,w*.75,h)
c.addItem(composerMap)

legend = QgsComposerLegend(c)
c.addComposerLegend(legend)
legend.model().setLayerSet(mapRenderer.layerSet())
legend.setTitle('')

selected_ids = [f.id() for f in layer.selectedFeatures()]
filter_id_string = ','.join([str(id) for id in selected_ids])

table = QgsComposerAttributeTable(c)
table.setVectorLayer(layer)
table.setMaximumNumberOfFeatures(20)
table.setFeatureFilter("id in (" + filter_id_string + ")")
table.setFilterFeatures(True)
table.setItemPosition(x+50, y+50)
table.applyDefaultSize()
col1 = QgsComposerTableColumn()
col1.setAttribute('Diametre')
col2 = QgsComposerTableColumn()
col2.setAttribute('Nature')
table.setColumns([col1, col2])
c.addItem(table)

printer = QPrinter()
printer.setOutputFormat(QPrinter.PdfFormat)
printer.setOutputFileName('out.pdf')
printer.setPaperSize(QSizeF(c.paperWidth(), c.paperHeight()), QPrinter.Millimeter)
printer.setFullPage(True)
printer.setColorMode(QPrinter.Color)
printer.setResolution(c.printResolution())
pdfPainter = QPainter(printer)
paperRectMM = printer.pageRect(QPrinter.Millimeter)
paperRectPixel = printer.pageRect(QPrinter.DevicePixel)
c.render(pdfPainter, paperRectPixel, paperRectMM)
pdfPainter.end()

Second, is to embed a image of the current extent (using mapCanvas().saveasImage()) using a dynamic QPixMap element on the custom form. This brings me back to the same question as to whether or not the custom feature form could be printed (to pdf, and eventually paper).

UPDATE: The following code may be able to display my map with a legend and selective table, but I still have many issues with the map items (no text in the table, positioning, unable to include only desired layer in legend). I've included all the code associated with this print composer:

layer = qgis.utils.iface.activeLayer()

qgis.utils.iface.actionZoomToSelected().trigger()
qgis.utils.iface.mapCanvas().zoomScale(1000)

mapRenderer = iface.mapCanvas().mapRenderer()

c.addItem(composerMap)

legend = QgsComposerLegend(c)
c.addComposerLegend(legend)
legend.model().setLayerSet(mapRenderer.layerSet())
legend.setTitle('')

legendModel = QgsLegendModel(c)
legendModel.setLayerSet([layer.id()])

legend.updateLegend()

selected_ids = [f.id() for f in layer.selectedFeatures()]
filter_id_string = ','.join([str(id) for id in selected_ids])

table = QgsComposerAttributeTable(c)
table.setVectorLayer(layer)
