[reportlab-users] deterministic output?

[Robin Becker]

We have done quite a lot of work to make the output deterministic, but probably you need to test the effect of environment 
variable RL_invariant=1. However I think there has been a recent change to python 3.x to make dictionaries more random which might 
make things harder.
