Create a Multilanguage PDF in Python

[Perseo]

Hi again,

WORKS!!! I download all I need as python + reportlab. Only 2 questions:

1. I need all of this package? because it is 6Mb!
2. How can I connect my software with MySql. In my Hosting is present
the  Python support but I don't thing that the MySQLdb is present. How
can I solve this little problem?

Thanks
Perseo
