Ok here is the allowSplitting example.
        doc =3D SimpleDocTemplate(
            filepath,
            allowSplitting =3D False,
            pagesize =3D LETTER,
            topMargin =3D 0.5 * inch,
            leftMargin =3D 0.75 * inch,
            rightMargin =3D 0.75 * inch,
            bottomMargin =3D 0.5 * inch,
        )

Now for the table example.
detail_table_data =3D (
            # R1
            # (C1, C2)
            (Paragraph(_escape(text), BLOCK_TITLE), ''),
            # R2
            #(Paragraph(_escape(text), BLOCK_TITLE), ''),
        )

detail_table =3D Table(
            detail_table_data,
            DETAIL_TABLE_COLUMN_SIZES,
            DETAIL_TABLE_ROW_SIZES,
            DETAIL_TABLE_STYLE,
        )

=46rom my usage of reportlab tables need at least two columns and n number =
rows.=20
So that is the purpose of the empty column above.  Hope this helps.
