George you can pass a canvasmaker argument into the SimpleDocTemplate build 
method call or just set the document.pagesize as landscape(LETTER) or 
landscape(A4) before calling build

eg

def go():
     doc = SimpleDocTemplate("phello.pdf")
     Story = [Spacer(1,2*inch)]
     style = styles["Normal"]
     for i in range(100):
         bogustext = ("This is Paragraph number %s. " % i) *20
         p = Paragraph(bogustext, style)
         Story.append(p)
         Story.append(Spacer(1,0.2*inch))
     from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import A4, LETTER, landscape, portrait
     doc.pagesize = landscape(A4)
     doc.build(Story, onFirstPage=myFirstPage, onLaterPages=myLaterPages)
