I've had limited experience with what's currently classified as a
"demo" application of ReportLab, PythonPoint.  It produces PDF from a
presentation language (which is just XML), and seems to do so
correctly. So far I'm happy with the quality... [[there was a problem
that cropped up with ReportLab 1.07 caused by Python 2.1's changing to
outputting literals in hex instead of octal, but there's a patch for
that or it may be fxed in the 1.08 release that was just announced]]

So... thumbs up from me.
