It is choking on:
blPara = self.blPara

which is coming from paragraph.py.

Looking at paragraph.py self.blPara is not defined until the wrap() 
method of the Paragraph class is called.
In the tests in xpreformatted.py  there is this code snippet:
def try_it(text,style,dedent,aW,aH):
         P=XPreformatted(text,style,dedent=dedent)
         dumpXPreformattedFrags(P)
         w,h = P.wrap(aW, aH)
         dumpXPreformattedLines(P)
         S = P.split(aW,aH)
         dumpXPreformattedLines(P)
         for s in S:
             s.wrap(aW,aH)
             dumpXPreformattedLines(s)
             aH = 500

You might want to emulate the above by doing:
hdr = "%s\nMemo: %s\nSale date: %s" % \
(self.seller, self.memo, self.sale_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))
ch = XPreformatted(hdr, self.style)
w,h = ch.wrap(aW,aH)
ch.drawOn(canvas, 0.75*inch, ph-1.00*inch)
