I think bitmap creation is not needed in the standard package. For most
users I believe the focus is on PDF.

BTW: You should give PyLint a try. It finds a lot of hidden bugs
sleeping in the code ;) Best way (because of a bug in PyLint) to install
it is:

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/logilab.pylintinstaller/0.1.1

Then run:

$ pylint -e reportlab

Very very useful is to use it within Eclipse PyDev:
