Try:

   http://www.dscpl.com.au/projects/vampire/examples/reportlab/ 
reportlab-demo.pdf

This uses reportlab to generate the PDF.

There is also:

   http://www.dscpl.com.au/projects/vampire/examples/reportlab/ 
trml2pdf-demo.pdf

This uses free version of tool for converting reportlab RML to PDF.

The actual source code for each is at:

   http://www.dscpl.com.au/projects/vampire/source/examples/reportlab/ 
reportlab-demo.py

   http://www.dscpl.com.au/projects/vampire/source/examples/reportlab/ 
_handler.py
   http://www.dscpl.com.au/projects/vampire/source/examples/reportlab/ 
trml2pdf-demo.rml

These happen to use Vampire for the mod_python handler framework,
but you should be able to adapt them to other mod_python handler
systems.
