Erm, reportlab?  I haven't tested the postscript output, but apparently
it's there (in the standard reportlab package):

http://www.reportlab.com/rl_addons.html

That link also says there's a PIL renderer for reportlab, which would
allow output in any format.

Another couple of possibilities:

sketch is an interactive vector graphics editor written in Python & C:

http://sketch.sourceforge.net/

PIDDLE is similar to reportlab, with a simpler and less capable API, but
with more backends (so you can output to all kinds of other formats):

http://piddle.sourceforge.net/

I'm sure there are other options, too.

Sorry, this is a bit offtopic now...
