It was playing a hunch based on looking at the code.

Actually it does seem to work. Using the demo invoice.rfxml file either of the
methods below seem to work:
pdfName = "myreps.pdf"
rw = ReportWriter()
with open(pdfName, "w") as outFile:
rw.ReportFormFile = "invoice.rfxml"
rw.OutputFile = outFile
# for testing
rw.UseTestCursor = True
rw.write(save=False)
rw.ReportFormFile = "invoice_2.rfxml"
rw.UseTestCursor = True
rw.write()
outFile.close()
Note the outFile.close()
or stealing shamelessly from the reportWriter.py code:
import tempfile
pdfName = "myreps.pdf"
rw = ReportWriter()
with open(pdfName, "w") as outFile:
rw.ReportFormFile = "invoice.rfxml"
rw.OutputFile = tempfile.TemporaryFile()
# for testing
rw.UseTestCursor = True
rw.write(save=False)
rw.ReportFormFile= "invoice_2.rfxml"
rw.UseTestCursor = True
rw.write()
rw.OutputFile.seek(0)
outFile.write(rw.OutputFile.read())
outFile.close()
