Well, I am a version or two behind, so perhaps it was added recently.

If so, then perhaps your real issue is the paths.  Remember that your
ReportLab script is running locally on the server.  It doesn't know
anything about the web.  The <img> tag needs to use real file system
paths, relative to the directory containing the script (if you are
running CGI).  You don't use URLs.
