Hi Ritesh,
Using the mapnik python bindings, POINT_PLACEMENT is default. So, to
enable labels that follow the curve of a linear feature in mapnik,
simply set the placement property to "line". In mapnik xml you would
do placement="line" and for python you would do:
t = TextSymbolizer('FIELD_NAME', 'DejaVu Sans Book', 10, Color('black'))
t.halo_fill = Color('white')
t.halo_radius = 1
t.label_placement = label_placement.LINE_PLACEMENT
Note: that is from the example I've just added here:

Hello,
I am trying to label roads using Mapnik Python. I have used mapserver
before, and using 'ANGLE FOLLOW' in the layer definition used to
label roads
with perfect curves.
I am searching for the similar option in mapnik.
Any kind of help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
