Generating RTF with Python

[Sells, Fred]

Apache fop does a good job of combining xslt+xml to generate pdf; the spec
says it does RTF, but I have not tried it.  Although fop is java, you can
run it as a (java) executable, so you could run it as a command from python.
It is almost as good as reportlab's stuff.

I looked at this a while ago, which might be a starter.
