From here?

class BaseDocTemplate:
.

.
.
    def _startBuild(self, filename=None, canvasmaker=canvas.Canvas):
        self._calc()
        self.canv = canvasmaker(filename or self.filename,
                                pagesize=self.pagesize,
                                invariant=self.invariant,
                                pageCompression=self.pageCompression)

_startBuild is called by build().

Sometimes it seems to be passed to flowable where it's used internally.
