I'm rendering some maps that need to have custom paths and labels drawn over
them on the fly (for example, labeling specific cities / countries, or
bezier lines indicating a path traveled). Is this something I could do using
mapnik?

I was thinking perhaps I could generate a shapefile on the fly that contains
the paths I'm looking to draw, as well as any cities I might want to label
-- is this a reasonable approach? Will it be too slow? Is there any easier
way?

My other alternative is to draw using a different library, however PIL's
graphics are aliased and don't look very nice. PythonMagick seems like a
good option, but compeltely lacks documentation and hasn't been updated in
ages. Any other recommendations?

Thanks!
