Sorry, the correct url for PDFLabels is currently: https://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/source/browse/tools/pdflabels.py
We did some cleanups and reorganization of the project folders structure to be more compatible with pep8, distutils, etc. For the next release, if you can confirm that PDFLabels is working with the new structure, it could be moved to fpdf folder (currently in tools) so it would be packaged with web2py. BTW, there has been some other enhancements and bugfixes to PyFPDF thanks to several contributors, if you find an issue, please grab a latest copy and take a look on the project site: https://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/source/browse/ (look for the download zip link) https://code.google.com/p/pyfpdf/issues/list ASAP we close a few more pending tickets, surely a new version of FPDF will be published.
