Same error with this syntax. :-(

When I first tried with ('SPAN', (0, 'splitlast'), (-1, 'splitlast')) it 
was done after an example found in the distribution : 
reportlab/test/test_platypus_tables.py
where you can find :         ('LINEBELOW', (0,'splitlast'), 
(-1,'splitlast'), 1, colors.white,'butt')
