Sean, thanks. On gispython.org, I see a blog post http://gispython.org/2009/10/unofficial-python-gis-sig-launched-2/ saying "Informal Python GIS SIG launched".

Mapnik looks great (aside from relying on scons to build), especially this: http://trac.mapnik.org/wiki/XMLGettingStarted#WorldPopulationXML which looks like it could be adapted to my problem.
