Thank you for your suggestion. Unfortunately I don't know how to use qgis functions in python. I have had a look at it, and it seems tedious.
I ended up doing it with ps.map - it seemed I could use the .ps format anyway. I made a script which altered my ps.map file for each iteration - using the data.replace() function in python.

Not sure how it ties up with your python script.
