Not that I'm actually recommending this, in your case, as the
other posts have the good answers :-), but another option 
is to use Python simply to generate XSL-FO output, then use
an external package to transform that into PDF.  The xml.apache.org
project has FOP, and there is at least one commercial package,
(for Win32 only I believe) called RenderX, which can do the
job.

(Flames from anti-XML fanatics will be repelled by asbestos 
filters in my newsreader. :-)

Something I'd like to have the time to work on: a Python-based 
XSL-FO to PDF converter.  Has anyone started SourceForge project
#9982111 for this while I wasn't looking?
