At the risk of belaboring the point, I think what Timo was gentlying trying
to point out to the OP was that Google would've likely yielded many relevant
results, including in all likelihood the top hit, notwithstanding Google's
tailoring based on location and other factors.  (You're not seriously trying
to suggest that Google would've yielded *no* useful results, or that the top
link wouldn't have been at all relevant to his question, are you?)

For reference, for me the top hit is http://www.xhtml2pdf.com/ which does
indeed look like it might do the job (and is a pure python solution.)

Another possibly quite relevant link is this one (about 20 lines of code):
