I don't know of anything to do this in python. It could be done with
python and some sort of drawing library like reportlab, but it seems
like there are already likely programs out there to use this kind of
thing.

This would all depend on your platform and things, but I use LaTeX for
my documents and the TeXshade package works very nicely for this kind of
thing:

I don't know anything about other solutions, just an idea if you use
LaTeX. Good luck!
