Apache fop does a good job of combining xslt+xml to generate pdf; the spec says it does RTF, but I have not tried it. Although fop is java, you can run it as a (java) executable, so you could run it as a command from python. It is almost as good as reportlab's stuff.

Not high-level, not very sexy ... ;-( I looked at this a while ago, which might be a starter. http://pyrtf.sourceforge.net/ -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
