Victor,
  You may want to look at the material in the "printing" package in
Grail; it won't be a ready-to-use application, but it may be fairly
useful depending on your application.  If you're basically presenting
text, it shouldn't be too difficult to use.  It essentially provides a 
"writer" object that produces PostScript output; see the formatter
module documentation for information on the "writer" interface:

	http://www.python.org/doc/lib/module-formatter.html

  Grail 0.6 is available at:
