We've had stacked bar charts for about 7 years!    I have just seen
the offending docstring in the top of reportlab/graphics/barcharts.py
and fixed it.  I think what's misleading is that this is a property of
the axis, not the chart.

You need to set something like...
  myDrawing.chart.categoryAxis.style = 'stacked'

The definition of that property is as follows....(in axes.py)
    style = AttrMapValue(OneOf('parallel','stacked','parallel_3d'),"How
common category bars are plotted"),
