from reportlab.platypus.tables import Table, TableStyle
from reportlab.lib import colors

doc = SimpleDocTemplate('ttab.pdf', showBoundary=1)
t = Table((('','North','South','East','West'),
		 ('Quarter 1',100,200,300,400),
		 ('Quarter 2',100,400,600,800),
		 ('Total',300,600,900,'1,200')),
		 (72,36,36,36,36),
		 (24, 16,16,18)
		)
#line commands are like
#op, start, stop, weight, colour, cap, dashes, join, linecount, linespacing
t.setStyle(
	TableStyle([
		('GRID', (1,1), (-2,-2), 0.25, colors.red),
		('BOX', (0,0), (-1,-1), 0.25, colors.blue, None, (2,2,1)),
		])
