[reportlab-users] Flowables splitting across frames

[Larry Bates]

I have a new project for ReportLab and I can't seem to find what 
I need to accomplish a task.

I have a Paragraph flowable that contains text that should be 
flowed into two frames.  It should flow into the first frame until it is 
full, then flow the remainder (if there is any left over) into a second 
frame.  The first frame is on the first page of the document and the 
second frame (if required) would be on the second page of the 
document.  If all the text fits in the first frame, there is no second 
page.  If text overflows the first frame, I will need to add a second 
page and flow the remainder of the text (actually additional pages
get added until all the text is flowed into frames on pages 2,3,...n).

I have tried frame.split, but I'm getting error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "c:\python21\reportlab\platypus\frames.py", line 137, in split
    flowable.canv = canv	#some flowables might need this
TypeError: object has read-only attributes


Thanks in advance for your assistance.
