I want to make sure we're all keeping up with each other, so
I'll make explicit a couple of points, despite the risk of
redundancy:
A.  Bundling GS is a little touchy, depending on
    what you mean by that.  Check out its license.
    My summary:  it's feasible, but not as trans-
    parent as the technology in isolation might
    suggest.
B.  As Steve's already noted, the for-fee ReportLab
    *does* (at least some of) the things you want.
