Printing labels is tricky. You could probably hack something up in python,
but you are probably better off doing this in a tool that has already been
created. I would recommend openoffice.org or kbarcode. Both have many
predefined label forms and can pull the data from a database -- which is
probably better way to store all of the addresses you have.
