I just tried this for a simple chart and it seems to work for me


from reportlab.graphics.shapes import Drawing
from reportlab.graphics.charts.barcharts import VerticalBarChart

class TVBC(Drawing):
	def __init__(self,width=400,height=200,*args,**kw):
		apply(Drawing.__init__,(self,width,height)+args,kw)
		self.add(VerticalBarChart(),name='chart')
		self.chart.y  = 40
		self.chart.categoryAxis.categoryNames       = ['a\n-\nc','b']

if __name__=="__main__": #NORUNTESTS
	TVBC().save(formats=['pdf'],outDir='.',fnRoot=None)

is that not working for you?
