[reportlab-users] Two Images next to each other

Why "without tables"? A table is exactly the proper way to line
things up next to each other...

There is a general "tables are evil" meme circulating which came from
the CSS world and the desire to have responsive layouts which
resize/reshuffle as browsers shrink. But paper has a known size.
Just make a table style with no borders and it becomes very easy.
