Sounds great!

The idea is to be able to insert a page from an existing pdf file into
a PyX canvas. Similar to c.insert(epsfile.epsfile(...)) available to
insert PostScript code into PyXs PostScript output. All we need to do
is "ed s/PostScript/PDF/g". Unfortunately its much harder to implement
this in PDF as in PostScript ...

I'm aware of that being a very important missing feature. Still AFAIK
nobody started to work on that.
