Lele,

probably I will drop the support for an explicit attribute. If that's done then the easy way for you to subclass Paragraph would 
be something like

from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph
class LeleParagraph(Paragraph):
     def __init__(self, text, style, **kwds):
         hyphenator = kwds.pop('hyphenator',kwds.pop('hyphenationLang',None))
         if hyphenator:
             #override the default
             style = style.clone(style.name+'-hyphenated', hyphenationLang=hyphenator)
         Paragraph.__init__(self,text,style, **kwds)
