Reportlab is here: http://www.reportlab.org/

It has a layout engine called 'platypus'. It is able to handle automatic 
page headers and footers, repeat first rows/cols of bigger tables that 
do not fit on one page etc. I choose this because the higher level of 
abstraction. I can go down to Cairo level but then I need to develop my 
own layout engine. Or is it not true? Is there a reporting tool built on 
Cairo, with Python bindings?

Sorry for being offtopic.
