[reportlab-users] allow multiline text

[giulia cherubini]

Hello,
i’m new in reportlab and also in programming python,
I have little sample of a report made with reportlab
It takes text from query made with postgres-psycopg2
It puts it onto a grid (attach1) or a simple canvas.drawLine(attach2)
 
But when the text it is too long, it goes ‘’’outside the paper’’’ (attach1) or over the text beside (attach2)
 
Does some way – method exists to allow my text to go in the line below after a tot. number of letters?
 
For example:
 
NAME    SURNAME    CITY
Giulia     cherubini        roma
 
Antonguido    cherubini    roma  à in that case, in the pdf the name will be write over surname
 
I’m searching for:
 
NAME  SURNAME      CITY
Giulia   cherubini          roma
 
Anton   cherubini          roma  à in that case, the text will be write in another line automatically
guido 
 
 
sorry for my poor english 
i hope I explain in correct way
thanx in advance 
 
giulia
