[reportlab-users] AttributeError: XPreformatted instance has no attribute 'blPara'

[Michael Hipp]

Just got an exception:

AttributeError: XPreformatted instance has no attribute 'blPara'
...
File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\reportlab\platypus\flowables.py", line 108, 
in drawOn
   self._drawOn(canvas)
File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\reportlab\platypus\flowables.py", line 89, 
in _drawOn
   self.draw()#this is the bit you overload
File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\reportlab\platypus\paragraph.py", line 992, 
in draw
   self.drawPara(self.debug)
File "C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\reportlab\platypus\paragraph.py", line 
1295, in drawPara
   blPara = self.blPara

Here's a stub of my code that kicked it off:

         hdr = "%s\nMemo: %s\nSale date: %s" % \
             (self.seller, self.memo, self.sale_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))
         ch = XPreformatted(hdr, self.style)
         ch.drawOn(canvas, 0.75*inch, ph-1.00*inch)

ReportLab version 2.5.

Thanks,
Michael Hipp
