Since reading your comment, I investigated Latex (which I've never
really used) a bit more and found that Latex should indeed do what I
want. Since I'm building a system in Python, and PyX wraps Latex,
I'm not sure that this is a misuse of PyX...
Anyway, what I would like to do is create a class that allows me to
create a table, and be able to set for each cell/column/row or entire
table:
background color
horizontal alignment
borders (on or off)
to be more general you could add:
text color and vertical alignment to the above list of attributes.
I think I see the path ahead for doing this with the colortbl package
in latex. If I'm feeling enterprising and community oriented,
perhaps I'll offer it up to the world when I'm finished...
Incidentally, is anyone else having trouble reading the mailing list
archives?

Are there any examples out there of PyX being used to create tables
in PostScript?
An example of the kind of functionality I'm looking for is in
groff/tbl.
Frankly this sounds to me to be a misuse of PyX.
Can you motivate it a bit?
I assume you are aware of LaTeX + dvips?
