format() was added in Python 2.6. I'm running 2.7.2.
I'm contemplating switching from having mapnik render to a cairo PDFSurface to rendering to an image with AGG and placing that in the surface. The PDFs that are generated are exceedingly complex and this poses problems when printing. It's good to hear that it works for someone else.

I had to convert the print 'xxxxx'.format() statements into the ' %d ' % (xxx) format to get it to run on my computer (not sure if that is a python version issue), but it is producing nice clear paginated output. Thanks Graham. On 22 February 2012 03:38, Paul Norman <[email protected]> wrote: I've thrown something together in python. It uses mapnik for rendering the maps and cairo for page layout.

It also hasn't been updated in 5 years. What I'm considering writing is a set of python scripts that build the map with mapnik and then piece the pages together. Do you think inkscape is the easiest way to build the PDFs from the command line?
