is it related to pycanvas ?

please could you run only test_pdfgen_pycanvas.py to see if the problem
comes from this new module ?

it seems the space in "Program Files" causes a problem somewhere, maybe
you could run the script through the Python interpreter instead of directly :

        python.exe runAll.py
        
      or :
      
        python.exe test_pdfgen_pycanvas.py 
        
        if you're only interested in this script.
        
sorry I don't use Windows so I can't help much
