There is a pdf generating module at www.reportlab.com I have been
experimenting with it now for a few days and it looks great.  It works
well and is fast.  Basically all you do is call graphics methods on a
canvas.  There is also a higher level library built on top called
platypus which allows you to easily do tables and other things that
would be common to a report.  Its a little hard to understand at first
but there are plenty of examples and adequate documentation.  The best
part is that you can take advantage of OOP while designing your
reports.
