[reportlab-users] ReportLab 2.7 accelerators

[Andy Robinson]

Lele, you are quite right, the file on PyPI is different to the one we
created and tested, and completely missing the subdirectory with all the C
code.

I will have to check with my colleague who uploaded it in the morning.   We
created and tested all the packages, moved them from a hidden to a visible
directory on reportlab.com, then attempted to follow the instructions on
pypi.    Right now I will see if I can manually put the right file in
place...
