In the past we've discussed a little bit about the Dabo Report Designer here, so hopefully this post isn't seen as entirely off-topic. I've just put together a 23-minute screencast that should give an overview of the current capablilities and design of the tool, available for download here:

We use wxPython for the designer surface, and ReportLab for the PDF output.

Wow! It took a hell of a long time to download, but it was worth it!
You guys are doing some amazing stuff with wxPython! Even though I
don't do database stuff, I can see how a tool like this would attract
a lot of developers who don't think that you can do serious apps in
Python!

Sorry about the file size. I forgot to downsample the mp3 file to 40 kbps instead of the default 128 kbps.

In the words of the great ones who have gone before us: That's friggin' awesome dudes! 
This is the kind of thing that I envisioned wxPython being used for way back in the early days of the project, in fact I had something similar sketched out on scratch paper at one time. Watching this screencast and your others I almost feel like a proud dad watching his kid grow up and becoming a success at something.

...and eventually we are going to watch someone take what we have done and do something really great with it. Open source rules! Cheers, Robin!
