[reportlab-users] patch to make Reportlab work again on Jython

[Robin Becker]

Raphaël,

we recently introduced some ability for selected people to access and modify at 
least parts of the reportlab repository. Would it not make sense for us to 
create a jython branch based on the current reportlab 2.3 and then allow you 
(and perhaps others) to make patches to that branch?

It seems wrong to mess with the base implementation just because the latest 
jython has some limits. I suppose jython's new model(ie not creating java files) 
has caused these problems with class size, but I'm sure you'll find other areas 
where our code needs some tweaks to make it work under jython.

Even if you don't want to do the commits yourself it seems to make more sense 
than doing everything on the trunk.
