I'd like to create an application that would run on Google's appengine.

However, this application needs to be able to generate PDFs dynamically.

How could I do this?

You can use the reportlab library to generate a PDF from Python. You can just include the ReportLab files in with your application's code, or you can include a zip archive of the ReportLab code, and insert it into your application's sys.path.
