I tried to use the same URL and got nothing. Here is my stripped-down code (a 
Django view) to show what I am trying. The text always appears, but never the 
image.

\d

def desiderata_pdf(request,brotherpk=None):
	styles = getSampleStyleSheet()
	styleN = styles['Normal']
	styleN.fontSize= 9
	styleN.leading=11
	styleH2 = styles['Heading3']
	story = []
	hcm = 0.5 * cm

	# Create the HttpResponse object with the appropriate PDF headers.
	response = HttpResponse(mimetype='application/pdf')
	response['Content-Disposition'] = 'attachment; filename=TEST.PDF'
	import os,sys
	cwd=sys.path#os.getcwd() # getcwd shows "/"

	# tried this, with many types of paths.
	i='<img src="/var/www/media/incunabula/images/halo.gif" valign="top"/>'
	# And this
	i='<img src="http://www.reportlab.com/media/base/logo_bg.gif"/>'

	story.append(Paragraph('<b>CWD is:</b>%s image?%s ' %(cwd, i), styleH2 ))

	#create the basic page and frames
	document = platypus.BaseDocTemplate(response, 
				leftMargin=hcm,rightMargin=hcm,topMargin=hcm,bottomMargin=hcm,pagesize=A5)

	frameCount = 1
	frameWidth = document.width/frameCount
	frameHeight = document.height
	frames = []

	#construct a frame for each column
	for frame in range(frameCount):
		leftMargin = document.leftMargin + frame*frameWidth
		column = platypus.Frame(leftMargin,hcm, frameWidth, 
frameHeight,showBoundary=1)
		frames.append(column)

	template = platypus.PageTemplate(frames=frames)
	document.addPageTemplates(template)
	document.build( story ) 
	
	return response
