[reportlab-users] Installing on Mac OSX

[John Keyes]

Hi Andrea,

I installed everything from source not too long ago but I didn't 
document everything.

It was a pretty straightforward process to get ReportLab installed from 
what I remember.  If you run into any difficulties post back here and 
I'll try to help out.

Cheers,
-John K
