[reportlab-users] How to wrap text in a column in a table?

Repeat enquiry - no bites last time.
Using Django and ReportLab. I am using the SimpleDocTemplate to
generate a number of reports. All is well, except that in all the
reports there is a column of text data that is capable of being too
long for the cell width. I need therefore to make that column wrap
whenever necessary.
My current table styling is taken straight out of the docs:
ts = [('ALIGN', (0,0), (-1,-1), 'LEFT'),
('LINEABOVE', (0,0), (-1,0), 1, colors.purple),
('LINEBELOW', (0,-1), (-1,-1), 1, colors.purple),
('FONT', (0,0), (-1,-1), 'Times-Bold')]
table = Table(data, 1*[0.75*inch]+1*[6.0*inch], style=ts)
elements.append(table)
I assume there is a blindingly obviously way to cause this, but I
haven't seen it yet. Can anyone tell me how to do it?
TIA
