heres my code anyway

doc = SimpleDocTemplate(PDFName)
ReportStyle = TableStyle([('GRID', (0,0),(-1,-1), 0.25, colors.black),
                                ('ALIGN',(0,0), (-1,-1), 'CENTRE'),
                                ('LEFTPADDING',(0,0),(-1,-1),4),
                                ('RIGHTPADDING',(0,0),(-1,-1),4),
                                ('FONT',(0,0),(-1,-1),'Times-Roman',8)])
        TopHeadingStyle = ParagraphStyle(name='TopHeadingStyle',
            fontName='Times-Roman',
            fontSize=14,
            alignment=TA_CENTER,
            spaceAfter=15)
           
        # add headings
        Report.append(Paragraph(ForVenue+ ' ' + str(Year) + ' Venue 
Inspection', TopHeadingStyle))
        Data.insert(0,['Week','Category','Item','Score'])   
       
        #items table       
        ItemsTable = Table(Data, None, None)
        ItemsTable.setStyle(ReportStyle)
        Report.append(ItemsTable)   
       
    doc.build(Report)
