Python to PDF via XSL-FO
As much as I love XSLT (half-kidding here), I have several
applications to generate PDFs from databases, and from other
sources that XSLT can't reach directly.

Since I discovered SQLAlchemy (http://www.sqlalchemy.org), life
is much nicer: In Python, I can pull data from SQL databases
without getting any actual SQL on my paws.

These applications use Python and its wonderful lxml module to
produce XSL-FO files, which I can then run through XEP or FOP.

I've built a little Python module to assist in the generation of
XSL-FO:

If anyone finds this module useful, or if you have feedback on its
usefulness, I would be delighted to hear from you.

Are there other mailing lists that might reach potential users?
