I want to use the QGIS Map Composer with Python to automatically generate maps. As a base map of these maps I want to use tiles generated with Mapnik. Currently I am serving the tiles with mod_tile just like the regular osm tiles. I know I can simply use my url of my tiles in QGIS, but the quality of the tiles is made for web maps, and I need higher resolution. So my question is, if it is possible to somehow export a georeferenced image with Mapnik to use it in the QGIS Map Composer. Or if there is an other way to create some sort of high resolution tile with Mapnik and use it in QGIS?

You can also use Nik4 with
--ppi 300 --wld <file>options to generate a large image with georeferencing.
