Gosh, that works! Thank you!! That will do for now...

BTW, this is a nice, compact way of creating clean, throw-away Python environments
for testing (here on OS X):

wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh
bash Miniconda-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh -b -f -p ./miniconda2
./miniconda2/bin/pip install -U pip
./miniconda2/bin/pip install reportlab
./miniconda2/bin/pip freeze
./miniconda2/bin/python my_test.py

Cheers,
