It's not off topic. I have a client who renders PDF in Pylons, and I
may have to do it myself someday. I don't remember offhand if he's
using ReportLab or some other library, but I'll check tonight.

You have to set the content type as Deron said.
response.content_type = "application/pdf"
As for rendering it in the browser window (rather than launching a
viewer application), that's totally up to the browser and plugin. You
have no control over it.
By the way, if the PDF is already in a file with a .pdf extension, you
can use paste.fileapp to send it, which saves some work.
