_renderPM is a C extension that is used by the reportlab.graphics.renderPM.py 
module. If you can bear to do so you can hand build or get someone friendly to 
do so.

The source of our extensions is in

http://www.reportlab.co.uk/svn/public/reportlab/trunk/rl_addons

I know that it's possible to build the extensions fairly easily as Andy Robinson 
has just done it with xubuntu and he's normally a windows person.

It should be possible to use PIL directly if that's what you want, but our 
library doesn't have a direct PIL canvas as yet.
