[Chicago] writing pdf files from python

[Steven Githens]

Another option (although a bit more obtuse) that I used to make all the 
preprinted badges for this last PyCon was Jython + iText. I needed to 
open and modify existing PDF's (something the free version of ReportLab 
didn't support then, it might now).  It worked pretty well and pretty 
concise code using the Java library from Jython.
