I am thinking of using XML-RPC to call out to a Java VM running FOP.
I would use an XMLTransform to generate a FO-format document, and pass
that as a string to FOP.  FOP would then generate the PDF and return that
as a string to Zope.

I was thinking of creating a "Fopper" Zope object that would transparently
take care of that, so navigating to the URL of the fopper object would
automatically yield the PDF.

The only wart, obviously, is that it requires installing a separate Java
process running Fop :-(

Unfortunate, but for now, I do not know of any FO processor written in Python.

We are currently planning to release this in the next month or two..
