Ricardo,
Unless learning Python is for you so important and compelling that you accept to spend 10x more time for the same result, did you look at FoxInCloud?

Ed, never worked with templating systems, but reading the examples I have a few doubts regarding their capabilities, maybe you know the answer to them? In the example they define <title> items, but will the template generate a new title on top of every page? Can you define page sizes, page footers, group headers and footers, group totals, running totals?

Will have another look at it.
While I don’t do much reporting in Python these days, I would recommend a simple templating system like Jinja or Mako to create the HTML output, and an HTML-PDF converter to create the output. I did a quick google around and found this article: http://pbpython.com/pdf-reports.html . It looks pretty straightforward.
