Hi Ruud, Thanks for the reply. I did notice the timestamp now :)
I think using the PYTHONPATH and setting .pth is a no go in GAE, as far as I know.. I was afraid of that, might have to get started in the Pisa code.. Thanks again for the solution, I saw some people using ReportLab in GAE, will help them a lot. Thanks, Arun Shanker Prasad.
