[reportlab-users] Unable to install with python 2.7.3

[Robin Becker]

Sébastien,

I think you are missing some/all of the C extensions. I'm not exactly sure how 
you installed, but presumably at least _renderPM.so is missing which causes most 
if not all of the graphics stuff to fail.

If you try to install with the system python you'll normally need to use sudo to 
make setup.py install work properly.
