[reportlab-users] Fwd: Bug in platypus paragraph.py

[Andy Robinson]

Paul, thanks for this.  Our latest source code already has this, so it
looks like we fixed it after the 14.4 cutoff was made

class _SplitText(unicodeT):
    pass

(The 'unicodeT' is an indirection to do with python 2-and-3 compatibility)


I don't know how often the Ubuntu packagers pick up new versions but
there have been a whole lot of subtle improvements since mid-Feb when
the cutoff for 14.4 happened.  in the meantime, hopefully you can grab
a fresher version with 'pip install reportlab' ?  Most active python
users seem to prefer to use Python's packaging tools rather than
Ubuntu's ones.

- Andy
