ReportLab is an option. LaTeX is another option.

EMACS org mode make this task exceedingly simple. Org makes it easy to format tables in plain ASCII. Any line with ‘|’ as the first non-whitespace character is considered part of a table. ‘|’ is also the column separator.

C-c C-e p (org-export-as-pdf) Export as LaTeX and then process to PDF.

Pisa generates from html. It's very easy to use.

import ho.pisa as pisa
import cStringIO as StringIO

result = StringIO.StringIO()
pdf = pisa.pisaDocument(StringIO.StringIO("<table><tr><td>test test</td></tr></table>"), result)
