I have a dynamic PDF generation library and a minimal html to PDF
conversion script (enough to support Structured Text) all written in
Python. No table support yet.

You can get it from:
http://starship.python.net/crew/pavlos/ 

It was originally intended to provide PDF support for Zope but it is a bit
slow, unless some caching scheme is used.

There is one more PDF library for python by Andy Robinson but I do not
remember the URL.
