[reportlab-users] including EPS images

No, but you can try to convert EPS vector files to SVG with some-
thing like http://www.square1.nl/TGC-SITE/ps2vector.htm and use my
somewhat experimental svglib module to convert this to a reportlab
graphics representation: http://python.net/~gherman/#svglib

Mind your languages use! What you mean is a vector graphic, "image"
is sort of reserved for bitmap graphics.

Also, as a RL-DevNet member you can use RL PageCatcher to import
stuff previously converted to PDF (like EPS) into RL documents.
Here's one example using a "sexed up" version of PythonPoint:

Buon lavoro,
