I am looking for the best accurate tool for PDF in Python that works like Jinja does for HTML.

What are your suggestions?

As answered by jbochi, ReportLab is the foundation for almost all Python projects that generate PDF.

But for your needs you might want to check out Pisa / xhtml2pdf. You would generate your HTML with a Jinja template and then use Pisa to convert the HTML to PDF. Pisa is built on top of ReportLab.

Edit: another option I'd forgotten about is wkhtmltopdf
