Re: regarding output

Let's divide and conquer.  Try commenting out the stuff creating and using "p"
and instead do

  response.write("this is a test")

See if you get a file to save in the browser, and save it, rather than opening
it, since it won't really be pdf.  Then look at the file with something like less
in a command line - don't try double clicking on the file, it's still not a pdf to
see if it has the desired text.  If that works the Django side of things is good.

I haven't touched reportlab in a few years, so I don't remember if a Canvas
is the kind of object that you need (whether it even has a save method),
so the reportlab mailing list, or getting a simple reportlab example to write
to an open file object, would be your alternatives.
