Yeah, that's the problem.

I've got Jasper installed in Ubuntu, and it looks very powerful, but
unless you're developing in Java you have to use the Jasper report
server and call reports programmatically against that, which might be
too heavy a solution for smallish applications. You'd have the added
complication of Tomcat and MySQL.  I've looked at Pentaho too, but it
seems to be a maze of different applications which all seemed to have
previously called something else, and it's completely unclear from their
website as to exactly what one would require for any given application. 

There's just some gaping holes in the toolchain if you wanted to do
desktop apps with Python (present Dabo company excluded of course!)

We were so spoiled with VFP ...
